Kalil fits in manny, manny ways.
--USC...home cookin'.
--experience.
--one year contract...similar numbers to Gordon.
--HOU will have to off somebody...Davenport/Tytus two deep at OLT.
--Kalil is kinda average (perfect for LAC-bandaid- not rocket science here.)
--One good year, coming off injury.
--Praised by O'Brien for hard work and recovery.
--Plug n Play OLT w/Lamp-Pouncey-Schofield-Tevi intact.
--Don't destroy Scott's confidence by putting him in as an emergency...let Trent develop.
--Pipkins will be ripe in 5 years.
...in a nutshell.
:2cents:
tl;dr
Kalil @ $5.6 million pro rated is perfect as a six game rental for Russell Okung.

I think the team is intent on developing its draft picks. But when you look back at guys like Tuerk and Watt....and see we used another 3rd this year on a project like Pipkins...it scares fans. I like the idea of developing our players and paying our stars. Add a FA here or there. But Telesco was brought into build this team for the long run especially heading into the new stadium.
Now with that said we havnt been too good developing our youth OL. And that may be my biggest issue. Like why are we ok with that mediocrity? Thats what bothers me. I think we tend to lack developmental skills and good coaching on the OL.
The other thing that was a huge problem under McCoy was fitness. This OL was sufficient for 3/4 of the year. Then broke down physically. So fitness is another factor. I think Lynn said his biggest issue with the Rams scrimmage was penalties late. And fitness. The 2 go hand in hand. When you are tired you make mistakes. Get sloppy.
At least we are not taking days off like we did under McCoy. I think Lynn gets it when it comes to fitness. Im hoping they learn from last year and our physical limitations. And focus more on the fitness and recovery.
We often talk about a Rookie impact coming in that 3rd year. But its probably the same thing with coaches. Lynn has started out strong. I think this will be our year. Got a lot of depth that got good experience last year as we broke down. You cant win a SB without depth that has game experience.

I don't think we are missing a dynamic weapon in MG...just a heavy load workhorse who happens to be dynamic as well...but as far as putting this team in cap hell? No thanks. We can replace him by commitee....he is lucky to have the offer he has.
Edit: Make no mistake...I'm an MG fan....but a Charger fan first. He comes and plays, great. He holds out? See ya...Adopted Bolt: Kimani Vidal RB
Final prediction: Latham OT, Colson LB, Sainristil CB,Rice WR, Zinter OG, Nourzad OC, MacLachlan TE, Vidal RB, Lovett DT
