*Albert

So that great 08' draft class won 0 playoff games and 3 of the better players from that draft are no longer on the team. Thanks Pioli.

It's his pedestrian athleticism that really made him drop, not just his health concerns. Jones had 630 snaps on that Pitt defense, he got all of 1 sack out of those snaps. IMPRESSIVE!

this entire forum is slobbering over a FA safety who ran a 4.68 40. Also, not impressive. But it doesn't mean he's not the best FS in the NFL. Doesn't make Jones a bad OLB in YEAR 2 OF HIS ****ING CAREER.

Eric Fisher put up good combine numbers then went out on the field on Sundays and got owned by anything that looked like a pass rusher. Impressive, slow clap or whatever you do.

Joeckel sucks for 5 games = Bust.
Fisher sucks for an entire season = Excuses galore.

Fisher is a Chief. He gets the benefit of the doubt.

When the Dolphins announce their deal with T Branden Albert tomorrow, he will end up getting $10M/season. Quite a haul

Not worth it

He apparently is to them.

Damn, hate to see good players walk.

Yeah because the Dolphins make great FA signings.

Wait......

O.city · 03-10-2014, 02:06 PM

Phins have definately spend some money in FA recently.

O.city · 03-10-2014, 02:07 PM

So now come the "Oh well, Albert isn't that good anyway (now that he's not a Chief) complaints"?

Albert is good but not 10m a year good.

Cap goes up, players salaries go up. It's the way it goes.

Yeah. All I've been saying is that I understand why Dorsey made the pick that he made with our roster the way that it was set up prior to the draft.

He's a guy that doesn't just draft BPA, he drafts BPA at a position of need.

At the time, after having released Winston and having an unknown in Stephenson with a franchised LT in Albert, OT was easily our biggest need.

Not OLB where we had Hali and Houston.

Not 5-tech where they just signed Devito and still had Jackson.

Not NT where Poe was the incumbent starter and former 1st round pick the year before.

Not CB where we had the high paid Flowers and just signed Sean Smith and Dunta Robinson to multi-year deals.

Not S where they thought they still had something in Lewis, had signed Demps, and had Eric Berry.

Not WR where they just gave Bowe a massive extension.

Not QB where they just traded for Alex Smith to be their current and future starter and no QB worth it in the draft anyways.

Not OG where we had 2 returning starters in Allen and Asamoah.

Not RB where we had Charles.

OT was pretty much the only direction to go with that pick with the way that our roster had been formed and also with the way that the talent was shaping up in the draft. I think that's why Dorsey signed the guys he did in FA also, the draft was weak at top with the OT position being the strongest.

Albert still isn't worth an average of 10 mil per season.

Again, Jones had all of 1 sack in over 600 snaps. You would have taken him #1 overall?

There are literally 3 or 4 spots you just listed that had we taken a player there, we'd be in the same boat at that spot we are with OT now.

Jackson is likely walking, Lewis is gone, etc.
