If Tunsil drops, should we take him?

Tunsil is sued by his step father for assault. In fairness it does sound like he assaulted him in defense of his mother, so props to him; however, we all know how things like this can cause a player to fall. Plus there's chatter that some teams value him lower than other LTs.


So if he is there at 12, what should we do? Keep in mind we drafted Peat last year to the the eventual RT. PFF had him rated fairly well there, but they had him rated poorly at Guard.

I think it's a tougher choice to make than it appears to be at first glance (my initial thought was YES, but I'm not so sure now).


UPDATE: Below is PFF's rating of Peat last season. This is good info in discussing what to do.

quote:

13. Andrus Peat, OT, New Orleans Saints

2014 PFF College grade: +27.8 (fourth-highest OT in class)

2015 PFF NFL grade: -5.0 overall, +2.2 at offensive tackle (29th-highest OT in NFL)

While he graded negatively overall, it’s worth pointing out that Peat actually graded positively in 197 snaps at offensive tackle, with his negative grades coming in his starts as a guard. Given that he is likely to spend most of his career at tackle, that’s a good sign.

if he drops to us then there is a reason and a major red flag that the public doesnt know about. but this of course wont happen and he will be picked in the top 8

Tunsil Bosa and Ramsey are my top 3. If he's there at 12, I'm walking to the podium like prime time Ric Flair.

Yes! Ran faster than the flash to the commissioner to announce the pick.

Way too many teams between 3-11 who desperately need a LT.
