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.

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
