Euphoria,

The common theme here is that people on this board get locked into a guy or position they want. If the pick doesn't happen, then they are disappointed

. We were either average to below average on the O line last season & we addressed this twice (Unger & Peat). I think Sean & the rest of our brain trust have a game plan, otherwise he wouldn't have been on our board.

One thing I learned about SP... NEVER EXPECT who you think he is going to draft. The only except is if the player has a NFL father/DNA Which is one of the reasons I think we snagged peat.

So I didn't go into it for a player or position I just wanted to see what rabbit we were going to pull out of our hat and we did,

I like the pick,Brees needs more time and the running game has to improve. Unfortunately the Saints have many more holes to fill.

Total breakdown: Saints draft OT Andrus Peat in first round
Mike Triplett, ESPN New Orleans Saints reporter
The pick: Andrus Peat, offensive tackle, Stanford

My take: This was a curveball – but only because Peat is seen as a left tackle prospect, and the New Orleans Saints are already set with a young left tackle they like a lot in Terron Armstead. The Saints have also invested long-term in veteran right tackle Zach Strief, whose future could be in doubt unless one of these guys will make an unfamiliar move to guard. However, it’s hard to argue with shoring up an offensive line that has been in decline over the past two years. Drew Brees was sacked 37 times in 2013 and 29 in 2014 – the two highest totals of his career. The Saints still have four more picks in the top 78 to address a defense that badly needs it.

Everything but a mean streak?: Analysts are a bit mixed on Peat (ESPN’s Todd McShay ranks him 11th overall, while Mel Kiper Jr. has him 26th). No one argues with his rare combination of size, athleticism and quickness, though. Peat moves very well for his 6-foot-7, 313-pound, long-armed frame. And the Saints’ pass-heavy/screen-heavy offense has always exploited athletic offensive linemen. The only knock on Peat among scouting analysts seems to be that he needs to play with more consistent power and more of a mean streak. Says McShay: “We would have liked to have seen more of a nasty side from him at Stanford.”

Smooth transition: Both Peat and Stanford coach David Shaw suggested Peat should have a smooth transition into the Saints’ West Coast-based offense since he played a pro-style West Coast offense at Stanford. Peat said he played left tackle his whole career in college, starting the past two years. He said he has never played guard but would be willing and able to play wherever the Saints want to put him on the line. Peat is the first offensive lineman drafted by the Saints in Round 1 since Jammal Brown in 2005 – the year before coach Sean Payton and Brees arrived.

I can deal with the OT. I would have blew a fuse if we took a WR. We still have plenty of picks to address our other needs.

need another OL pick to complement this one

Needs to improve angle of pass sets against speed. Has direction-change issues when moving in space. Gets stuck to first block too long, allowing second-level target to escape over top. Has issues with sustaining blocks on second level and doesn't always work feet to improve positioning when blocking laterally.

ok tell me how he fits a zone blocking scheme? i do not get this pick. well could have been worse i guess. typical saints pick a head scratch-er.

Beasely will eat this kid alive for a few years until or if he improves. or the saints change blocking schemes

I better not hear we could have traded down and did not do it.

so yet another pick to sit back and watch to see what happens.

Did anybody pick him in your freaking mock drafts?

See why I didn't play the game. Trust in the coaching staff.
