2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook

If we drafted Peat in the first round with the intention of making him the next starter at RT and he ends up being the starter at LG for a bunch of years I will be happy with that too.
Guards are so important that they warrant first round picks.

In my mind, an ideal first round pick should play right away, be at a ProBowl level by their third year and with really good offensive players (e.g. QB, WR, OL) stay with the organization 8-10 years...

I would agree but the world is very seldom ideal so if you can get a solid starter that's pretty good too.
