I know Peat is from Stanford, but he's not exactly a mauler. I still hate that pick.

I can't say I hate the pick, but I can say I don't understand the pick. He was supposedly the best availible LT on the board, why use that pick when we have Armstead could have used a 4th on a reliable project instead of a 1st. Before we traded for a C I was screaming for a C(we got a good C now) and a C/G or a pure G. I also thought Strief had this year in him(which he might) and next season look for a RT. Problem is the F.O. doesn't see things my way. We could be stacked the O-line with a little preventive maintaince every year but these people don't know how to draft sucessfully. There were a few good C and G in this draft, I really didn't research any T truethfully. I believe Hagen did!!
