Our next LT may not already be on the team, but...

....his brother Ryan is. Minn. drafted Matt with the 4th overall pick in the 2012 draft and expected him to be a 10 year fixture at LT. After a pro bowl rookie season, they thought they had their man. However, his play the last two years has deteriorated to the point that Bell may have a better PFF rating. There will be no 5th year option and there is apparently talk that he could be cut.(http://vikingsjournal.com/_/minnesota-vikings-news/minnesota-vikings/what-to-do-with-matt-kalil-r298).

This is the exact type of reclammation project that Gman should be looking for. At his point, he should not be worth more than a 4th or 5 th round pick. Uniting him with his brother and getting him healthy, would hopefully get his game turned around.

Been discussed ad nauseum, he was literally the only LT graded worse than Bell. Sign for an incredibly cheap deal as a FA? Sure, why not. Give up a draft pick, even a 7th? No thanks.[/quote

Normally I would dispute you.....but Getts drafts extremely well. I would part with a 7th if Getts thought it was a good idea tho. Could be a steal if Matt panned out.

      Bryce Young May Be The Answer

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      No one is asking him to be Tom Brady. They're just asking him to be as good if not better than Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garoppolo and Carson Wentz. We'd like Young to be better than Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield, but we're not even asking for that. No matter how you cut it he's going to be considered a bust for what was given up for him. He should be outpacing Cam Newton, Jake Delhomme and Kerry Collins game for game in their careers. He should at least be challenging the clutch level of Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Goff, Garoppolo, Burrow, Hurts and Purdy. Remember that's based on the draft capital given up for Young, and not the extremely low bar Young has actually set for himself.

      So Kyler Murray gets praised as the best little QB...

      By CRA · Posted

      Even if you cherry pick Bryce post benching and ignore everything else and project it out over a full season….. there is no statistical  argument Kyler has ever been worse.   I’m no Murray fan as I agree he is more athlete than QB.   And I’m open to Bryce improving and support us continuing to develop him as this point.

      We need LBs--build the roster from the bottom up.  On offense, we have Coker who has been huge...if you fill your weaknesse without having to use free agent $$$ or draft picks--win win.
