So... Any Starting Caliber LTs Available in FA or via Trade?

A decent backup caliber LT would be an improvement over Kalil. I honestly believe that had Darryl Williams not gotten hurt we might be giving either him or Moton some looks at LT. Kalil is a huge liability, both on the field and against the cap.

I never wanted Matt and was very vocal about him being a significant downgrade from Oher...  but, i was hoping we could work around him...  it is clear, we can't and i don't want him getting Cam hurt.  I want him out of there ASAP.  As you said, I'm convinced there is a backup LT out there somewhere that is significantly better than Kalil right now.

We're just gonna have to bite the bullet and cut him next year. It's going to be brutal against the cap, but it has to happen. Post June 1st he'll hit us for about $6.5M next year and in 2020.

Patriots are a smart franchise why in the hell would they want Matt freaking Kalil?lol

They wanted Kony Ealy, Philip Dorset, Brandon LaFell, etc. etc. Belichick best coach ever... Far far far from best GM ever

They got those guys for next to nothing though. No one is trading anything for Kalil with his contract. 

I was obviously joking... but regarding Dorset they gave a backend starting QB/top backup with 3 years on his rookie deal, that's seriously valuable. Ealy was the equivalent of like a 4th and they've wasted many first rounders on sh*tty players.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
