Also, if they thought Stephenson was starting LT material, they wouldn't have drafted Fisher imo. I'm sure he got a good look.

They would have come into Year 1 (with that stop-gap, make us respectable QB) with an established, top 10 LT and a promising young player with good physical ability at RT. How is that any different than how they started the 2013 season? (It's not).
And they'd still be looking at the same decision regarding Albert. As it is, they're going into that QB's second season looking like they will use that same promising third-round player in a starting spot (and LT if they align them based on merit so far) ... and still with a complete unknown/unproven guy at the other tackle.
Throwing 1st round picks at the T spot is not the only way to get good players in there. Except, apparently, in KC.
