The thing is, with a zone scheme, you want relatively athletic guys on both ends, especially now that NFL defenses are swinging their pass rush and blitzes to both sides of the line. A flexible tackle that has the capability to play either side is really what the Chiefs would want, and there are five guys in this draft that fit that profile:
1. Costanzo
2. Sherrod
3. Solder
4. Carimi
5. Smith
After that, it's kind of a crap shoot in terms of getting a guy who is capable of playing the scheme that the Chiefs run, and it's a strong likelihood that none of these guys are going to be around past pick #29.
As well, Albert has not really gotten better. In fact, he's about the same player as he was in his rookie year as he hasn't shown any real progression in his blocking, particularly in pass protection. It is a position that needs to be looked at, and if you can get a guy in that provides better performance at that critical position, then you do it.
