Then we replaced Albert who was above average with a questionable future back issue that would cost us 9 mil with a more talented Eric Fisher that can anchor the line for the next 10 years and is young.
Then, assuming we trade Albert we pick up a playmaker or QBOTF with the free 2nd we have.

Yeah, that's a good way to look at it.
He could also look at it like this:
We use the 1.1 on the best QB available, Alex Smith. (I understand that some may disagree)
We trade Branden Albert, our 2nd, and a 2014 conditional pick to get younger and cheaper at the position and increase the potential ceiling. In return, we get the Dolphins 2nd (whichever one it is), enough cap space to buy another free agent, and the ability to use the franchise tag on someone else next year.
