They've given themselves no fallback now. Eric Fisher or Luke Joekel have to end up as among the best players from this draft and Alex Smith has to end up as a top 10-12 quarterback. If that isn't what happens, this has all been ungodly stupid, risk-averse horseshit that's going to keep us mired in the shit. Perhaps they're right. I don't suspect that they will be. But in either event, there's no blaming your predecessors here - this is the bed that they made.

Albert can play under the franchise tag, whose stopping him? If Geno is the first pick he probably won't see the field his first year, and even then I give him a 50/50 shot to be a reliable starter. Jordan will play behind Hali and Houston for a year, and have to come in on situational plays, is that a waste? If Joeckel has to play RT for a year that's the crap situation?
You're right, I'd rather trade Albert, start Fisher or Joeckel and ha ebthe second round pick if we can. |

Anybody else buying this? Sad thing is, we'll probably still have to take Joeckel or Fisher, and hope we can use the threat of a franchise tag next year to force Albert back to the table. Nobody wants Geno at 1.1, including us, and neither of the passrushers are proven commodities. If we keep Albert for at least a year, however, it would allow us to gamble on Fisher. If Fisher pans out, he becomes the LT, and Albert will become a guard with a the bigger guard contracts in the NFL. |

If I'm Reid or Dorsey, and my neck is on the line for this selection, I don't feel good about that gamble. Especially because that means the best-case scenario with Jordan means that I'll have to try and trade Hali next year. |

I keep seeing people saying Jordan. When was the last time that a OLB got draft 1.1
I thought Jordan was a DE but evidently not he is a OLB. Pass rusher or not I don't see us or any team spending 1.1 on an OLB that will be behind Hali and Houston.

That means he goes to all mandatory practices, starting with OTAs and mini-camp after the draft. He doesn't get to choose to skip or hold out of anything. |

This team and this draft is ****ed. Anything the Chiefs do is going to be out of the ordinary because they've painted themselves into a corner.

If you think Jordan's legit, you take him. I am a little worried that he can't carry the bulk he'll need to be truly elite without losing some of his speed. Is his ceiling really that much higher than Bruce Irvin's? There's a good chance that's he's just a 1-trick speed-rusher. That's why, in a draft where everyone's a question mark, the question mark with the biggest impact potential was the way to go. But....Chiefs. So we'll take a goddamn tackle.

Mario was drafted as a DE not an OLB. That change happened when Wade Phillips went to the Texans.
