This argument really doesn't work. Just because the cost of Albert was going to become too prohibitive doesn't mean they have to use a Round 1 pick to replace him.
Nothing says the Chiefs would need to find a RT in the first round or even in the draft, period, had they not drafted Fisher.
Good OL can be found all over the place. Including the 3rd round and later.
