Speaking of the Pac-12 blog, they did a piece this morning that had this to say about Peat:

I hope he does come back. He was one of my favorite prospects coming into this year. He has a chance to be a really good right tackle in the NFL for a long time. But I just haven't seen the development this year. He was a top 20 kind of guy coming into this season. The biggest concern for me is his balance: He's lunging a lot and is occasionally off-balance. Guys will take advantage of that at the next level. For me, I think it's in his best interest to work on staying back on his heels more. For a guy who's so dominant with his physical ability, I'd also like to see more aggressiveness from him.

There's also a bit in there about Cajuste, whose draft position is mostly determined by his 40 time.

Which is one of the most ridiculous things I've read.  They (scouts) have two full years of film of Cajuste as a starter running routes against high level competetion. How any timed race, out of pads, on a track contains any relevance compared to that information is completely beyond me. Some slow people play fast (e.g. Jerry Rice), and plenty of fast people play slow (e.g. any wide reciever drafted by the Oakland Raiders). Either Cajuste plays like he's fast or he doesn't.

Measurables are nice to have for high school recruits as there is often very little film of them playing against quality opponents, but it's crazy to me that any NFL team would make personnel decisions based on a 40 time when actual game film is an option.
