There has been speculation for a while now that the Chiefs would move Albert to RT and draft a LT at 1.1. It doesn't take a crystal ball to figure out that Winston was the odd man out in that situation.

He would have to pass a physical for a trade to go through. It wouldn't happen if he had a chronic back injury.
Also, I just don't see how the Chiefs can trade Albert, especially for a 1st round pick. There are at least four first round quality OTs in the draft and a strong FA class for OTs. I don't see why anyone would give up a high pick and then pay a big contract when they can just draft someone or sign one of the FA tackles.
I really think they will go with a current player or FA at RT and sign a guard in FA. I think it is possible that if they don't feel they are making headway with Albert and his contract that they will go after a FA and then trade Albert for whatever they can get (3rd round probably) or just pull the tag if they get no takers (most probable).
I think drafting a LT at 1.1 is probably pretty far down their wishlist. The whole draft kind of depends on Albert's long term contract.
