well that's just it ... if Albert were to stay it would be because negotiations with the Dolphins showed Albert his market value.

So he would just sign a long term contract with the chiefs and not have to play under the tag.

He might not be stupid but our GM is.

Good god trading for a shit QB and letting a good player go. Repeating all of Piolis mistakes in 1 year.

I'm going to trust that if Bad Guy doesn't think so, then he's working off some pretty good information. Bummer.

Chance Warmack, prior to the start of the 2012 college football season, was the third rated OL on the Tide behind Barrett Jones and DJ Fluker. It was Jones moving into the center position which then sandwiched Warmack between he and Fluker that catapulted him into first round consideration.

He measured smaller than what everyone thought he would at the combine and is apparently dumb as a fence post. He didn't bench at the combine and doesn't have very good quickness.

Personally, I don't think he's as good a prospect at the guard position in this draft as Jon Cooper.

LOL

I think Warmack's overrated.

A real talent, to be sure. But I wouldn't touch him until the late 1st. Not in the early or mid-first. I think Johnathan Cooper's better.

Warmack is a good player, but I think he's looked superhuman playing next to DJ Fluker and Barratt Jones, both of whom are Top 5 talents at their respective positions in this draft. (Jones is the best center.)

I would avoid Warmack unless I have a huge hole at guard and I've got one of the last six picks in the first. I would probably take a harder look at him in the 2nd.

Well, at least it wasn't the Chiefs thinking that Joeckel or Fisher would be better than Albert as rookies, but Albert just not wanting to be here anymore. That makes it somewhat better if we take a tackle at 1.1, even if the selection still sucks.

Albert doesn't want to be here because we aren't paying him. Period.

Albert is blameless.

Yes, if you consider blameless telling your boss that you aren't willing to play anywhere else for the good of the team.

ROFL.

Not every team views OL players as other positions.

Given how the Bears have addressed their OL in the recent years (difficult with Emery only being there 1 year), it's probably safe to say that they view WR as a more important position.

Additionally your last sentence is silly as well. It's exceptionally bland and doesn't take into account a variety of factors (i.e. while Percy Harvin isn't a "Megatron" WR, he's probably viewed as a more valuable piece by several teams).

It's not.

Who is, in your opinion?

Where else were they going to play him?

Right Tackle.

Wait, you're saying he shouldn't have a problem with switching positions when he's a top 10 LT and had a career year last year?
