Gman: ...we're going to attack the issue [of LT]


top dawg

Recommended Posts

With everyone getting all caught up with Dave Gettleman proclaiming that he is not going to "overdraft" in a decidedly weak class of offensive tackles, I think that it's just as important to note what Max Henson of the team's website reported, as it gives even more clarity.


"We're going to look at what tackles are available in free agency, look at what is available in the draft and see where they fit," Gettleman said. "I'm not going to overdraft, I'm not going to overpay. But we're going to attack the issue."

So there you have it! Vintage Gettleman! Sure he's not going to reach for an overvalued LT in the draft, but he's also not going to reach deeper down in his pocket than he ought, just to pay an overvalued  LT in free agency. And yet, still, we will attack the position, so look for some changes with Michael Oher's future still up in the air.

I'm loving that language.  He knows what he's gotta do and I respect that.  Let's hope his actions follow suit.

Yeah he's certainly checking off my wishlist, with his words---LT, TE, WR, DE---now we just have to hope that GettleClause delivers!

Matt Kalil, watch it happen. He made the Pro Bowl once. Slowed by injury, but looked better than any OT in this draft when he came out, only 27. I'm sure some of you guys would pan it, Whitworth is old. Draft sucks, we can take a 3-5 round flier but that's a shot in the dark

If Matt Kalil is the ONLY LT acquisition, GMan must truly care more about Bob Barker's plea to help control the pet population more than the team.  Male Panther fans will have a much harder time getting and keeping an erection and fewer Panther babies will be made.

What else you got? Legit LT's are like white unicorns right now. Give me names

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
