La Canfora isn't the scout. He's writing about the scout.

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

Peat looked very good at times, and struggled at times.

There's no evidence either way about how good or bad he'll be.

My opinion is he's a typical rookie that looked lost at times, and looked great at times, which a lot of rookies do. The fact that he's looked good tells me he just needs to be more consistent and work on his game.

Picking the top 2 or 3 OT in any draft is never a bad idea.

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

I expect him to step up alot more this season. He needs to validate that high pick we used on him.

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

I understand it. But, I've never been of fan of giving a 1st rd pick a pass because he's a rookie. If a team selects you in the first round, with the exception of a QB late, you should start and contribute from day 1. If not, it was a mistake to take you. You don't draft potential, except a QB, in the first round. You draft someone who you can plug in and play somewhere on your team.

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

I fully expect him to start this year

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

It's all really hit and miss

You have first round picks that don't start straight away and you have late round picks that contribute straight away

I mean who among us could see Marques Colston, Jahri Evans, Carl Nicks and many others would make such a big contribution from the start.

For every one of those, your going to have a Andrus Peat and Robert Meachem, high draft pick that doesn't start straight away.

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

I guess we have different opinions on what great is. I didn't personally see anything close to greatness, even in flashes, out of him. When I form an opinion on a rookie, I do take into account the learning curve. But there is a certain level of play that should be expected of a high first rounder. I never thought he was good enough to be drafted that high in the first place. And from what I saw, he did not play up to what I would expect from that type of prospect.

I'm not calling him a bust yet. I'll let it play out. But I really think we'll be doing well if he just becomes solid.

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

I'll take solid. I want to double up at G this draft though. Without solid line picks this year we could easily be in trouble next season.

Re: So a scout said Peat was not a good pick
 

So far I havent been impressed. Hopefully he'll be more improved this year.
