Andrus Peat OT Stanford

[gettlemanjack]

Doug Farrar and Chris Burke from Sports Illustrated have Peat the #1 and #3 on their respective top-40 big boards:

FARRAR

#12 Andrus Peat 1

#15 Scherff 2

#18 La'el Collins 3

#26 T.J. Clemmings 4

#40 Cedric Ogbuehi 5

(note no Flowers or Erving in top 40)

BURKE

#7 Scherff 1

#10 La'el Collins 2

#19 Andrus Peat 3

#21 Ereck Flowers 4

#26 TJ Clemmings 5

#30 Cameron Erving 6

#39 Jake Fisher 7

Farrar:

"There are times when Peat absolutely kills it on his tape—at 6'7'' and 313 pounds, he has the range and athleticism to dominate enemy defenders at the highest level. He's also a true technician, reminding me at times of D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Joe Thomas . Once he gets his feet set and his arms up in pass protection, it's all over."

ESPN's Todd McShay says Brandon Scherff and Andrus Peat

are the only offensive tackles worthy of a top 10 pick.

Todd McShay says Andrus Peat + Brandon Scherff are only

two OL he would consider in the Top 10. Echoes Zack Martin

comps with Scherff to G.

Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout Feb 24

[when asked how don't you have andrus peat in the 1st round? I think he could be the best ol in this draft, Miller's reply was...] Watch the Utah game.

Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout Feb 24

If you want to love Andrus Peat, watch him against Washington. Movement skills, length, awareness, patience.

Ian Wharton of Optimum Scouting:

"The second biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the 2015 draft [behind Dorial Green Beckham] is Stanford offensive tackle Andrus Peat. Standing 6’7” and 313 pounds, he has the physical profile of a created player on Madden. He’s quick, strong, smart and explosive.

But on the field, he fails to show aggression and technique. He looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane. That’s not what you want to hear for a first round prospect.

If Peat can turn the switch on and become nasty on the field, his physical gifts can fulfill his truly elite potential. But if he doesn’t, his career could quickly deteriorate. Finding a quality lineman that is nice on the field is impossible. Peat will not be an exception to that. Wasting such physical gifts would be a shame.

NFL.com Daniel Jeremiah's Mock draft 2.0 that came out yesterday has the Panthers taking Andrus Peat:

"#25 Panthers - Andrus Peat - Peat is a massive man with quick feet and great awareness. He had a couple of rough games this season, but this would be a great landing spot."

the OL in his mock:

#14 Brandon Scherff as OG - "The Dolphins need to upgrade the guard position, and Scherff is a people mover in the run game. He needs a lot of work in pass protection, but the move inside should help him out."

#16 TJ Clemmings as RT - "He would be a monster upgrade at right tackle for the Texans."

#17 DJ Humphries as LT - "Humphries has the highest upside of any tackle prospect in the draft. He could hold down the left tackle spot for the next decade in San Diego."

#25 Andrus Peat

#27 Ereck Flowers as RT - "The Cowboys could look at a running back here, but instead opt to upgrade the right tackle position."

#31 La'el Collins - "Seattle is getting ready to pay Russell Wilson a ton of money, and upgrading the offensive line needs to be a priority."

#32 Cameron Erving as interior lineman - "Erving had some struggles at tackle, but he excelled once he moved inside to play center. He could play any of the three interior positions for the Patriots."

I would be happy if we could draft any of the 7 listed above, with our 25th pick in the 1st rd.

Peat is still my #1. Adding martin changes nothing about me wanting to add 2 OTs via the draft.
