As a long term idea it's a failure.

And after moving Albert, when he does walk for more money, you can always replace a RT or guard with a mid round pick.

You thought he was a better prospect that Long last year, making him a better prospect than Albert, but you don't want him playing LT? Or are you advocating moving Albert going against everything you've been saying? Either way thats setting the team up for long term failure. :rolleyes:

Maybe he thought that Albert is a better prospect than Long? I know I did/do.

Actually they are. Go back and read from page one and give us a short book report at the end.

Well its a good thing we have the franchise tag so he can't just walk. Also the tag would pay him like a top OG, not LT.

Mecca 04-11-2009 07:54 PM

I don't like Jake Long as a high pick, I wouldn't take a guy who struggles in pass protection that high...

Albert has the potential to be better than any LT taken in this draft, and the last draft as well.

I'm not taking another LT to replace a guy that has Willie Roaf potential.

It doesn't really matter because he thought Oher was the best last year...

No offense or anything but if you take another OT high this year, whichever one moves should be playing RT not OG first....OT's are more valuable than any interior line position.

If you want an OT this is the argument I want, trade down once or twice get several extra picks take Oher play him at RT, that's the argument I expect. That way Albert and him combined don't make as much as Monroe does and you can realistically re-sign both of them.

Michael Oher does have top flight potential, his ceiling may be the highest of any OT in the draft this year and last he's just not nearly as sure of a bet.

i could agree with this, was against oher(brains) but looked around and found out ryan clady can only say "duuuuhhhhh" and "deeeeerrrr"

He didn't always play from the shotgun.

He also has the potential to be the best OG ever, he also wasn't drafted too high to be labeled as a bust if he goes back to his original position. Monroe also has that same if not more LT potential...

I'm not saying LT should be the pick... but I would rather not reach and sometimes you have to take what your dealt...
