I've seen a lot of fans on his bandwagon and I've seen a lot of others dead set against it.

Me? I've been back and forth. Seems like what I read about him, I feel positive. When I watch clips though, I start to feel a little less certain.

So a challenge to fans and foes: Convince me why we should take him or why we should avoid him like the plague.

Some games he looks doofy and lunges alot but after watching alot of film on him I can see he holds his owm against top pass rushers.

I compared him to other films I watched sherff, flowers and humpries.

Peat has looked better then everyone of those guys , he is still raw but he can start day 1 at lt.

I can't get the combine out of my head where he just looked absolutely gassed during drills, which obviously worries me.  But then I read where everyone seems to think he's the most pro-ready OT, would fit our scheme, and has great potential so I'm torn as well.

 

If he's the pick, I'm excited. But I'll always have an uneasy lingering feeling that his weird ass body won't hold up for some reason. Whether he just continues to get gassed, can't move his lower body enough (the lunges) or whatever.

Andrus Peat has the ability to become one of the best tackles in this year class. He has a lot of the measurable's you look for in a tackle prospect. He is huge guy at 6'7 an 34 3/8" arms weighing 313 pounds with 10 5/8" hands. The frame that Peat is carrying is massive with his huge lower thick half, and the fact he is only 20 years old he will have time in the NFL to add to that frame. A lot of analysts is saying Peat is likely to go top 10 or 15. I think teams will sleep on him and he likely falls. He played good in the PAC 12 and Leonard Williams one of the best DE prospects in this class. Williams said earlier in the week that Peat was the best tackle he faced all year. I am hoping that he falls to the Panthers at 25. That would be a dream scenario for us fans and Gettleman.

I'd suggest you go over to draft breakdown and spend a few minutes watching his tape: http://draftbreakdown.com/players/andrus-peat/

 

He's probably top 3 OL (Scherff and Collins above him) against the run, he uses his feet well to create the right angles and has the core power to finish off blocks while staying upright. 

 

He has the power to deal with direct rushes easily, but lacks the flexibility and balance to position himself quickly against speed and outside rushes. As a prospect he's got a decent floor but his ceiling depends on whether he can improve his footwork and balance. Suggests to me that he should be available late first round but we shouldn't have any issues with taking him in the first.

I haven't went back and watched his games in awhile, but the big gripe I have with him is how unbalanced he will be at times.  Too often I saw him on the ground.

 

No prospect is going to be perfect at our pick though, so I'm not sure I would really use that as a legit reason not to take him (I would take him if he was there barring an unexpected fall from another highly regarded prospect).  But that is one of his flaws.

Interesting, because I see your rankings of the top 3 OTs, and I see a ranking that goes

1. Flowers

2. Clemmings

3. Humphries

 

(Scherff and Collins projecting to G; Peat, according to Corey Chavous of Draft Nasty, is going to be a RT).

 

This draft is SO wide open.  I think the problem with OT is that the college game is sending us players with a different skill set than 10 years ago.

 

I would add that my favorite players at OT for us are: (excluding Scherff)

 

Flowers

Peat

Collins

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
