My humble opinion...

Armstead - Freaking Beast. On an All-Pro pace.

Lelito - Coming along nicely, about NFL average so far.

Unger - Solid, but not a beast yet. Still gelling with the rest

Evans - Dying faster than a vampire in the desert sunlight

Strief - Below average, but could pick it up.

Peat - Everyone knew he wouldn't break the starting line-up until late in the season or next year. Progressing as expected.

Kelemete - He's about average, but has played better than Evans has this year

I got to agree here. Kelemete is filling a huge void with Evans looking like crap. Lelito (slowly) coming along. But what I can't wrap my head around still was the Peat pick, Armstead is a stud LT and Peat was the #1 LT in the draft, why did we use the pick on a LT instead of a G/RT that could step in . G was on my priority list for the draft and thought Strief had at least this year in him I will admit. I'm not a coach but I do have a set of decent eyes to see where we could upgrade but for some reason these high profile, well paid people that put this team can't see an inch in front of them at times.

Re: 2015 Saints Offensive Line - First Quarter Season Assessment

Stealing Danos set up here My humble opinion...

Armstead - He is way ahead of the curve for a small school prospect.

Lelito - Jury is out and Hung. The kid still can not handle a stunt

Unger - Trying to minimizing the damage his two bookends are causing

Kelemete - Jury is out and Hung. The kid still can not handle a stunt

Strief - Age is catching up with swing OT. Saints waited a least two years to long to draft and groom a replacement.

Peat - well we bit the bullet and we have to live with it. IMO we could have traded down a bit and still got him. no way was he getting past that group atop the 20s with Carolina leading the way.

Lets face it the OL has always had a position or two the saints roll the dice on. They just waited a bit to long to address age. waiting to the last minute is never wise.
