I think Albert is fine as a tackle but overrated, and he isn't worth committing $40 million to over 4 or 5 years.

We move him to Miami on draft day, we draft a LT who is 22 and has a higher ceiling, and with the second round pick we basically got Alex Smith for free.

I was one who felt like Smith was the right move with the lack of QB options this offseason but I felt we overpaid. This helps it all make more sense.
This I disagree with.

We settled at QB and then traded off a solid (not spectacular, but solid) LT for a CHANCE at an all pro LT.

Yes, bigger upside, but it's still just a POSSIBILITY. All rookies are possibilities while we know what we're trading off...

Denver rookie QB John Elway, on Jack Lambert, after Lambert and the Steelers knocked Elway out of his first game as a pro (1983).
