Should We Keep Peat at LT and move Armstead to RT
There's nothing like an 0-3 start to bring out the crazy ideas.
Crazy? OK - I'll go after this one.
Crazy, draft a LT with the 13th pick in Round 1 that seems to only play well at his natural position, LT. Giving time, he has the ability to be All-Pro at LT. We have tried him at RG and RT and he did not look great and in some cases looked quite bad.
We have another established elite LT in Armstead. imho, he's been pretty healthy through most of his career.
So what do we do.
- Play the #13 pick at a position he sucks at or at best is marginally competent? That's does not seem sound
- Find a way to get top talents on the field at the same time? That means moving Armstead
- Or trade one. Armstead would get a bundle in draft picks. But if there is a way to keep these 2 young studs on the O-line together both performing optimally, then this is very valuable not only for Brees healtth but for the young QB (likely young?) who will replace Brees.
I'm Cajun and Irish, but I don't think that's a crazy evaluation and I know crazy :spit:
