jch1911 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Khalil signing is good tactical move - if he is playing decent, cheap find. If not, no major loss. I do think that Gaine's plan involves securing a 3rd round compensatory pick for 2020 because... He plans to move up in the 1st round this year to acquire a starting caliber young tackle (Jonah Williams or Andre Dillard). By offering 1-23, 2-55, & 2020 3rd, you should be able to get into the 9, 10, 11 range that would be sufficient to secure one of top tackles (or Ed Oliver or Greedy Daniels). Texans would still have 2, 3, 5, 6, & 7 this year plus would have full slate for next year. Just my $.02. BTW I would still be in favor of signing Jermey Parnell or Ryan Schrader or even Garry Gilliam to play tackle as well (since they would not hurt compensatory pick calculation). I also like the thought of adding Nick Perry and / or Glover Quin (yes, please). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what happened - what if Penn wanted a multi year deal with guaranteed money? I know we HAVE the cap room, but that's no excuse to overpay for a 1 year rental - which is what every single T on the market this off-season was. I'm not happy with the job Gaine has done, but I'm fine with bringing in a low risk/low reward guy like Kalil as insurance for your future LT you'll be drafting. (If we DON'T draft an LT with one of our first three picks, I'll be livid - but that's another argument for another time). I'm all but certain that Kalil is a bubble guy on this roster, and if the rookie LT outperforms Kalil, he'll be cut (or a healthy scratch for 16+ weeks). Again - not happy with the off-season so far, but the draft will be the true test of what Gaine is made of. If he can find another 2-3 guys in the draft who can come in and perform at a very high level, then it makes up for a lot of the FA inactivity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Dillon Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 I’ve read that we think Davenport showed a lot of progress and we expect him to start at LT next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Matt Kalil is signed to a 1 year deal, with $7.5mm due if he plays 16 games, $2.25mm guaranteed. So, he's probably not getting cut, but it's far from guaranteed starter money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, we all know Rankin and Davenport were bad last year but at what point do you let a young guy be bad, knowing they will grow into something more. I remember rookie Duane Brown being terrible. I think Rankin might be our LG and Davenport our RT in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
