I'm bullish on Dalton Risner in the draft at 62, but will he be there? what if a greater value falls? I think we'll see Peat get an extension offer with a lower cap number, but high percentage of guaranteed money... If you can improve the position, get a more natural guard at the spot, then you can move Peat in a trade... If I'm GM, I'd move Armstead for a high second rounder; extend Peat with the extension I mentioned and move him to LT... Then, if I hit on a standout Left Guard AND Right Tackle in the draft and they're the goods, starting and playing the first season, I'd move Peat in trade and Ramczyk to LT... We're really seeing how much losing Kelemete costs us a great deal of flexibility and leverage... |

On Bobby H radio show a while back, he claims the Saints were apparently (not sure if this is valid) trying to trade Peat for Patrick Peterson but they were much more interested in Armstead. But yes, I agree depth is key at the position. I like Ramon Foster in FA. Very good in the run blocking dept. As far as the draft ... I hope we take the best player available that falls to us @ pick #62. |

Re: 2018 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
A team can’t really make personnel decisions in free agency based on who they think they can get in the draft. If we’re going to make changes to the O-Line then it needs to be largely solidified before the draft with competition added by that avenue.
Now, I agree with JP about moving Ramczyk to LT and moving on from Armstead. If that happens then there are two very good RT’s available in FA that we would have to make a run at: RT Ja’Wuan James, Dolphins RT Daryl Williams, Panthers Or a cheaper wildcard option like RT Matt Feiler, Steelers. Where does this leave us with Andrus Peat? If we go the above route then Peat’s money would be better used on a RT. Have a competition at LG between Tom, Clapp and a potential draft pick. |
