    It won’t be panick on here until Trumaine Johnson or EJ Gaines are signed

    So, Fulton, Martin for sure would be center and guard. We’ve got a backup tackle in this Henderson dude and another backup tackle/project in Davenport. But we still need two tackles, another starting guard. I like Mancz and Quesenberry as depth. Not sure what the Texans think of them.

    I’m not one to panick. A healthy front 7 is just as important as adding better secondary pieces.

    I think Davenport could start at RT, I don't think there's anyone on the roster that would be better than him at this point whatever that means.

    I think our front 7 is still pretty good

    When fully healthy they’re easily top 10

    If they were fully healthy AND JJ Watt returned to form, they'd be hands down the best in the NFL.

    Not counting on it, but even at 75% JJ is a handful. But I fully agree especially if guys like Reader, Watkins, and a healthy Covington return to form the front 7 will challenges for best in the league. One of the reasons I’m not so cynical about the teams future.

    He didn’t look like a world beater when he played. They could definitely upgrade. If he’s the weakest link on the line, that’s not the worst thing.

    Just searched ej Gaines on Twitter lot of tweets about him signing with Tampa bay doesn't look like anyone credible but just wondering if there's any truth to it

    Looked like a bit of a project at tackle ala his projections coming out of college. Wasn’t as terrible as giacomini, but entering his 2nd year in the league improvement is most likely to happen

    Saw that too, just know the Brian Gaine "knows him well" & that may help us out if they want to spend less. Trumaine Johnson is going to cost a lot. 11-13 mill a year range.

    Like I said. I thought Butler was going to get more than he got, at least in non-guaranteed money.
