More Peter King nonsense about Albert and Joeckel
 

THE PLANS OF THE CHIEFS. "First off, love the column and have for a long time. Now my question: You say the Chiefs should dump Branden Albert and draft Luke Joeckel at number one (and many mocks have that as well). Let me ask you about that this way. If Luke Joeckel was currently a rookie on another team and had not played in an NFL game yet, would you trade Albert and your number one in the first for him? I can't believe anyone (especially GMs/coaches) would say 'Sure I'd make that trade!' I understand saving money, but I just don't see where it makes much sense past that in getting the most value with the pick.''

-- John Walden, Topeka, Kans.

I look at it this way: Do I want to pay Albert $10 million a year, which will be the going rate for left tackles, when I don't totally believe in him? Or do I want to pick a player I trust more at a position of vital importance, and spend the $4.5 million a year that I save in the process (the top pick in the draft will cost about $5.5 million a year) to go get another player in free agency -- maybe a safety to team with Eric Berry, someone like William Moore of the Falcons or Jairus Byrd of Buffalo?

This is Scott Pioli's opinion, through the mouth of Peter King.

It's obvious.

What a dumbass.

1. ROFL at Peter King trusting an unknown rookie more than a LT who allowed 1 sack last year.

2. Hey dipshit....how about we cut Tyson Jackson and use that $14 million to go get Byrd or Moore.

We will have 30+ million in cap space once we cut Jackson and Cassel.

Moronic. That approach is insane.

What's funny is that he thinks that saving $4.5M per year is going to net an additional top tier player.

$4.5M MIGHT be enough for Moore. You're NOT getting Jarius Byrd for the net difference between Albert and Joeckel.

I know, we could re-sign Steve Breaston!

ROFL

Peter King gives 0 ****s now, apparently.

And by "now", I mean "has always."

If we draft Joeckel.....I'm going to pray that he busts....and busts ****ing hard.

How do you trust Jokel more than Albert?

You know, 1 sack given up in ten games Albert.

We could cut Tyson Jackson AND Matt Cassel and net nearly $20M.

But King would never suggest that, those are Scott's boys.

STOP THE PRESSES.

Peter King is basically saying he would spend the top pick on Byrd or Moore, then...right?

Essentially. Yes.

From Pioli's mouth, to our ears.


Couldn't be more obvious. Jesus.

How guys like this get that high profile a job I will never know.
