Was just released by raiders. Obviously not a starter but would be better depth at tackle than we have with penning out

He is horrendously bad at pass protection.

I don't see why not taking a look.

He's not a Tackle. He'd be a hell of a Guard though.

He's still super young and talented. As another poster said, his pass protection is absolutely atrocious, but he's got the size and strength to be elite. For cheap, he's absolutely worth a look. He may just need the right coaching or psychological counseling.

He was pretty bad at guard also.

Obvious horrible pick by the Raiders but they aren't going to cut a first round pick if they thought he was serviceable anywhere on the OL.

Dude must be complete trash.

Remember when they drafted Robert gallery at 1.2, he busted at tackle and became a decent guard in the league

I bet Cowboys will be looking at him harder than the Saints.

OL guru Duke Manyweather said this about Leatherwood predraft. Maybe there is untapped potential there

Maybe those coaches are Marrone and Strief? Marrone missed Leathwood by a year at Bama but may have some intel on him?

agree, was thinking could he be worth picking up as a guard. Peat only has so much left in him.

He will end up being a Belichick project.

1 With the Saints o line injuries
2 the clearly below averagefadepth at G, how could you not check this guy out.
3 There are ALOT of drafted overly powerful OTs that weren't great pass pro guys that moved inside successfully. He could easily replace Peat and make him trade bait if he works out

Leatherface would be better for our team. He’s more intimidating than this bu$t.
