If the Chiefs draft one of the top 3 LT prospects in the draft, it will reduce the chances that Miami can solve it's problem by trading up (or to put it another way, it will drive up the trade-up price a bit). When the 3rd prospect falls, anyone left in need of an OT might gain some interest in Albert as well.

So I'm not sure you're right that the Chiefs will have lost all their leverage. If we end up with both Albert and Joeckel/Fisher, we're in great OL shape.
