If it's Joeckel as I said before need he'll to play at HOF levels almost immediately to justify the pick.If it's anything under elite then the selection is a bust.

He'll be signed or traded. It would be moronic to pay him that much but we CAN force him to play for it if it's the best move...

I'm fine with the way this is playing out.
I think Albert is fine as a tackle but overrated, and he isn't worth committing $40 million to over 4 or 5 years. We move him to Miami on draft day, we draft a LT who is 22 and has a higher ceiling, and with the second round pick we basically got Alex Smith for free. I was one who felt like Smith was the right move with the lack of QB options this offseason but I felt we overpaid. This helps it all make more sense. We won't have an overpaid RT or an overrated LT we are going to lose next season anyway. Branden seems to care more about getting guaranteed money than where he plays (not that I would e any different) so we can just wish him the best and collect our 2nd rounder. |

We settled at QB and then traded off a solid (not spectacular, but solid) LT for a CHANCE at an all pro LT. Yes, bigger upside, but it's still just a POSSIBILITY. All rookies are possibilities while we know what we're trading off...

If we get a second round pick back, then we essentially traded Albert for Alex Smith, which actually seems pretty legit to me. If we can use that second rounder to land Nassib, Manuel, Barkley, or Wilson, then I'm actually totally fine with this whole scenario, even if we take Joeckel at #1. Is Geno + Albert + our high second better than Joeckel/Fisher + Alex Smith + Tyler Wilson? I have no idea, and frankly no one else does yet, either. My one and only concern going into this draft was making sure we had a QB that we could point to and say "this guy! This guy is the future of this franchise!" I wanted it to be Geno, but if it's someone else, I will be satisfied, if unexcited. |

HOF levels immediately? Do you read the garbage you write? All you're doing is basically declaring a pick a failure from day 1 so you can spew your typical garbage on this board.

Seeing this plays out, almost makes you wonder if Dorsey's letting Albert and his people see the market, in order to re-sign him here for less money.
Doesn't seem like the popular belief, just playing devil's advocate. |

You draft the guy at #1 for his career, not for his first year. That goes for whatever position you take.
A DE or QB is going to take several years to become the player you drafted them to be, no reason you would think another position should be that guy on day 1. |

At this point....I just don't give a **** anymore. If they take a LT at 1.1.....I'll find out who we picked after the draft is over.

Certainly keeping Albert entails risk - risks about health, about signability next year, the opportunity cost of passing on Joeckel/Fischer/whoever who have higher ceilings. If we are only looking for the safe bets, Alex Smith and Luke Joeckel are the moves least likely to be busts. Of course, avoiding unnecessary risk is not all its about, and Reid obviously thinks the lynchpin here is that he thinks Smith has better football ahead of him. We will see... This should be a fun week. |

They'll be alot of this going on. People becaue they're butt hurt will set impossible parameters to judge Joekell by so they can scream bust and point fingers at Reid and Dorsey. Should make for some good reading.

So Miami is suddenly going to trade for a player whom they have tried, and failed, to sign to an extension?
