Saints signed Texas A&M OT Joseph Cheek.
Cheek (6'6/295) was a two-year starter at right guard for the Aggies, showing plus athleticism on movement-based blocks but struggling in the power run game and often getting pushed around inside. Cheek’s frame is indeed that of a tackle’s, but he has short arms (32 3/4") and is short on tackle experience. In order to hang on in the NFL, Cheek will have to demonstrate position versatility as a swing guard-tackle reserve. He is unlikely to grow into a starter.
