The Saints surprised everyone when they decided to draft a big, athletic offensive tackle in Stanford’s Andrus Peat. It's was a big gamble, and it has yet to pan out for the black and gold.
And why hasn't it worked for Peat and the team yet? First of all, injuries have slowed Peat down and hindered his development. He has dealt with knee and groin problem over the last couple of years, and it has kept him out of four games since being drafted. But secondly and most importantly, Peat has never been able to settle down at one position.
