Draft

So you'd rather look for 2 tackles?

Well I guess I am still hoping they could put Gaither at RT even though that may not ever happen.

If you could promise me Albert plays like this all the time then ok lets leave him there. Lets not pretend like he hasn't had a lot of really bad days pass blocking at LT. He may be a decent LT but having a great one would be better, especially when I think Albert would be a great LG.

Gaither is on a 1 year contract and cant even get on the field and we have Richardson at RT.

He wont be here.

albert has been very good this year, period...he has not had 'a lot of really bad days pass blocking'...that's a zombie lie

people don't have a damn clue...he's a quality starting LT and more than good enough for a good QB...

Wasn't saying just this season. If you or the Chiefs want to keep Albert at LT thats not something I am going to fight over. I like the guy overall I just don't think he has been as solid as you are saying.

It's possible he is. We don't know. I think what you're missing is what factors in if you were to move him.

- That means we then spent a 1st on a Guard. Waste.
- We have to then look for a LT. Typically the good ones are drafted in the first.
- All of a sudden we're looking for two Tackles going into next year when RT is far worse shape.
- LT is simply very, very low in our list of needs.

A move like that I think would be only for a team that is so loaded with talent, they could afford to make the move. We obviously cannot.

I agree with all those points. This certainly isn't a subject I am going to debate. I like Albert. I think we could still do a little better at LT but the point of priorities is a very good one. I wouldn't want us wasting a high pick on a LT, especially with our QB situation.

I spending $ on a RT in FA if possible. Having 3 players in their 1st-3rd years isn't great if you are planning to put a young QB back there, although that in itself might be a pipe-dream.

Gaither, Albert, Hudson, Asamoah, RT from either FA or draft...

I believe that Gaither is healthy enough. If you've payed attention to opponents field goal attempts, he is the middle man trying to block the kick, b/c he's ****ing huge. He has been stepping on the back of the longsnapper and trying his ass off to get in there to block the kick. You don't do that if you are really worried about your back, and you DEFINITELY don't ask someone with back problems to do something like that. Especially beings he's come down face first a few times.

I think, beings they had a shortened offseason, Haley didn't want wholesale change. You can see that in our draft as well. We've asked most up until this year, to play a large role and help, this year, not so much. Gaither had no offseason, so sign him for a year, an extended tryout, give him that full year to learn the playbook, then make the switch next year. Got to realize putting him at LT affects Albert too. So not only would Gaither have had to learn the entire offense in this short offseason, but Albert would have had to also.

Next year, we have a guy who had a whole year to learn, and a full offseason to get reps and make the offense second nature.

I have to believe this is true, it's my only hope we don't draft a LT #1 overall. This could be their plan and they still draft a RT #1 overall, wouldn't that be the shits? I guess it would be a solid OL though huh?
