After Stafford & Sanchez it is for sure.

Ha, I may have got the last question! sweeet!

ChiefsPlanet dominated that chat.

You're right, the question was:

Fill in the blanks... a) This is a remarkably strong draft for _______________, and b) This is a very weak class of ________.

He said:

a) Tight Ends

b) Quarterbacks

You got it, and Rulon Davis at that spot would be a great pick.

To answer your question, I would have said Chase Patton :D

Our LT spot is in great shape. Let's say that Albert is as good at RT as he is at LT. Let's also say that Monroe is as good at LT as Albert. The net gain in drafting Monroe is that you have improved your RT position, and the LT spot is still in great shape.

We have the #3 pick in the draft. If we were concerned with getting a great RT, we could trade the #3 pick for any RT in the NFL and get picks in return. That RT would also not make anywhere near the money that the #3 pick in the draft will make.

Why would you burn the #3 pick in order to upgrade your RT position when you could use that same pick to trade for literally any RT in the league, more picks, and spend less money doing it? I'll tell you why. Because you think lead paint is delicious.

I agree.

YUMMM... lead!

Here is why you may do it... (DISCLAIMER: I am not advocating this)

#1 You think Albert's success was partly due to our jacked up offense that we ran last year

#2 You feel that Monroe is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade at LT

#3 You feel that Albert will be a HOF ProBowl GUARD next to Monroe and that Niswanger/Goff/Waters/etc will do fine manning the center/right of the line

#4 You seriously can't find ANY other value at the pick... you don't like Raji/Orakpo/Sanchez/Curry at all.

If they draft Monroe I am going to assume they couldn't make a trade and they really didn't like anyone else AT ALL. AND I will assume that points #1 and 2 played heavily into the decision.

the continuity argument makes sense to me. the two have played together for several years, put them at LT and LG (i'm not advocating picking him though)

if you make Albert a RT, he's leaving...it is that simple

he has already proven that he is a good LT with the potential to be probowl caliber...he is not just going to accept a lower prestige and lower paid position for the rest of his career just because....

no player with his skill and commitment would, or should....


i can not believe this idea gets serious play...it is FAIL from every angle

If they take him they have to try Albert at RT before guard.

Even if you think Monroe is a more polished player, I don't think he has any more upside than Albert. Albert missing preseason and making that transition was phenomenal, no reason he shouldn't continue to improve.

The only way he doesn't is if you are a team like Carolina that doesn't seem to have any issue paying both their OT's a bunch of money.

i agree and IMO we wont be that kind of team(run first) not with haley
