And they'd still be looking at the same decision regarding Albert. As it is, they're going into that QB's second season looking like they will use that same promising third-round player in a starting spot (and LT if they align them based on merit so far) ... and still with a complete unknown/unproven guy at the other tackle.

Throwing 1st round picks at the T spot is not the only way to get good players in there. Except, apparently, in KC.

Yeah but, they didn't like Stephenson in that role. They didn't trust him as a stop gap. So much so that they chose not to trade Albert when they could have. I am sure they did their due diligence on Stephenson. Imo he wasn't that great when he started at LT. He's a good back up but he's not starting material on that side imo.
