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

He's wrong

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

I hope he's wrong. No evidence to prove he is, yet.

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

He should, at minimum, be a solid RG.

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

that clueless idiot is so wrong

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

Well, Peat hasn't exactly shined yet. But I believe that he's going to.

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

You sound like you're Andrus Peat's dad. I don't believe the Saints really wanted Peat... They were just stuck.

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

I haven't seen that much to prove him wrong yet.

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

its LaCanfora, when was the last time he was right?

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

Are you mad at the guy just because he didn't compliment one of our players? Because Peat hasn't proven a thing. That doesn't mean he won't, but until he does, you can't say the scout is wrong. I personally never liked the pick, but that's another story.

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

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.

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

Its his 1st freaking year
He player LT all his life
He was late getting into camp per NFL rules
Was asked to play RT (completely different footwork)

Give the guy a break.

Its like saying we're gonna lose a game because our opening KO went out of bounds.

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

Here are the picks after us in 2015. Who besides Marcus Peters can you say had a good rookie yr? Its not like we took Peat and the next draft pick or 2 lit it up to say we should have drafted them instead.

13 New Orleans Saints OL Andrus Peat Stanford
14 Miami Dolphins WR DeVante Parker Louisville
15 San Diego Chargers RB Melvin Gordon Wisconsin
16 Houston Texans CB Kevin Johnson Wake Forest
17 San Francisco 49ers DL Arik Armstead Oregon
18 Kansas City Chiefs CB Marcus Peters Washington
19 Cleveland Browns C Cameron Erving Florida State
20 Philadelphia Eagles WR Nelson Agholor USC
21 Cincinnati Bengals OL Cedric Ogbuehi Texas A&M
22 Pittsburgh Steelers DE/OLB Bud Dupree Kentucky
23 Denver Broncos DE/OLB Shane Ray Missouri
24 Arizona Cardinals OL D.J. Humphries Florida
25 Carolina Panthers LB Shaq Thompson Washington
26 Baltimore Ravens WR Breshad Perriman Central Florida
27 Dallas Cowboys CB Byron Jones Connecticut
28 Detroit Lions OL Laken Tomlinson Duke
29 Indianapolis Colts WR Phillip Dorsett Miami
30 Green Bay Packers S Damarious Randall Arizona State
31 New Orleans Saints LB Stephone Anthony Clemson
32 New England Patriots DT Malcom Brown Texas

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

Out of those players, the receivers got hurt or were not used enough. Agholor was a bad pick yes but that was one I was not even high on. Parker, Dorsett were just not used enough. Parker might be in that situation again next year because he is not a number 2 receiver. Dorsett lit up camp but then didn't get used in regular season. The colts do this to throw teams off. Johnson did pretty good for the texans. And Gordon was in the wrong scheme. A lot of these teams made bad picks that were not needed by their teams.

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

If we want to make the playoffs next year our draft picks have to contribute the first two at least.

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

Probably the scout that said JJ Watt and Cameron Jordan wouldn't be good pass rushers.

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

Defend the pick or don't. Chances are you're probably wrong.

Tell me what other rookie picked between Peat and Anthony had a remarkable first NFL season.

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

Is all you do is look for and post negative crap? Seriously.

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

Marcus Peters? Kevin Johnson?

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

La Canfora? Please...he makes sh*t up more than he reports it...

Canf got one editor to bite and give him a contract and they're too proud to admit their mistake so they promote him...

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

Valid...

I go back to signing a guard last season (Clint Boling) and not Browner (hated the signing) and you'd have Marcus Peters with Del Breaux (who even the Saints coaches and brass said "best workout ever" and "he's the real deal"); so why sign a guy benched by the Patriots for ineffective play?!?

Peters should have been the selection at 13...no doubt

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

I'll say this though, I'd have no problem taking Conklin, none whatsoever...

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

OL, a lot of factors. One, they have to work as a complete unit, really gel together and that takes time. Also a young man, he'll get there. He did good, not great but I could see him turning the corner this year. He'll probably get so good we can't afford him at some point.

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

I wanted Peters but after the coaches and front office made su much noise on getting the problem children out the locker room it was never happening

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

Another expert, Wrong!

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

Again, I know he was a rookie. Even rookies (when they are drafted that high) should be expected to show more potential than others. Nothing I saw impressed me. If we're arguing whether he was a good choice or not (which we are) then he hasn't done anything to suggest he was a good pick at this point, in my opinion. No offense to you, but I just don't buy the excuse of playing RT instead of LT. RT is less demanding. If we're nit picking about footwork, then he has no business being in this league. That's just not a good enough reason. I hope he comes around, but my opinion of him before he played a down with the Saints was that he was too soft for this level.

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

You don't have to have a remarkable first season. It's just slightly more convenient when they don't suck.

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

Knew you'd come around :)

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

Peat didn't suck. He played THREE offensive line position in his first season.

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

Yeah, jury is still out on Peat; but for a high first round pick, he pretty much sucked it...

Seems like those selections from those Pac/West Schools on their own schedule get off to slow starts...

Cooks did well, but most seem to be affected with missing those early OTAs and minicamps...

Imagine that, rookies missing practice early struggle...

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

It is very hard to trust some of our scouts.

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

I judge draft picks after year 2.... Then you can really tell if they have improved and look like they will continue to improve... or if they are a "bust"
