I don't think they'll move Ramczyk either

Peat’s natural and best position is in the injury tent

I feel like a lot of people have assumed Ram will play LT but I’m pretty sure Underhill reported they’re keeping him on the right.




Did he?

I'd be shocked if they move ram. I think hurst gets 1st shot and they will probably draft 1.

I do think people are undervaluing Hurst and feel that he is very serviceable at LT and considering the contract is a great value.


Going by the eye test, looked like Hurst played better at LT. I just remember him struggling at RT some games filling in.

Most O-linemen will tell you that switching sides on the line is awkward. The saying goes "It's like wiping your arse with the other hand". I would not be surprised if the Saints took at look at free agency for an experienced LT
Duane Brown 36 y.o. or Eric Fisher 31 y.o. and still draft one in the first or second rd. A decent starting free agent LT would probably cost north of $10m apy. and their are very few available. I hope the team has a thoughtful plan in place.

Ram was an All American LT, so it's not necessarily foreign to him. He's played a few pro games at LT as well.

I think the question is, do you want to draft a Tackle early? If so, are they a day 1 starter at LT? Do we want to keep Hurst as a swing guy? I think there are certain scenarios where Ram could get a shot at LT

Lot of difference between left & right tackle. Leave the right side as is.
