He started 2 games at guard last year. Payton said it was because he'd earned more playing time and wanted to give it to him. Lelito and Kelemente were pretty bad.

The plan is still OT.

The Saints still see Peat as tackle down the road. But if he keeps playing well and showing growth, who knows what could happen.

“The long term vision, again, is the way we drafted him and how we see it,” Payton said. “But that can change.”

As long as he starts I could careless if it at OG at OT to be honest.

While I was not all that thrilled with the pick. I never pegged him as a starter at ROT day one. He is not a natural swing OT and was not trained that way. You want to give him a shot of starting tomorrow. a real shot?

Move Armstead to RT and plug Peat at LT. That is all he know and the only position he has ever really played. Plus the times he filled in at LT he looked pretty darn good for a rookie.

I knew this kid will need time to develop outside the LT position.

If he does not hold a starters job and at the very least rate out a serviceable by season end then I would be very worried about this kids long term potential. That was my game plan when we drafted the kid.

Year three he should have it all down pat and roll into camp as a starter was my worse case for him as a RT.
