Chiefs If we sign Albert do we still take a tackle

Hog's Gone Fishin · 03-03-2013, 11:03 AM

Got to thinking if we resign Albert he has stated he does not want to play guard so would this rule out taking a tackle in rd 1. What if we drafted Fisher and put him at LG. Would that not make our line a beast for Charles to run behind. O r does signing Albert mean we just go in a different direction.

Personally I am warming up to the idea of drafting Geno and just using him as trade bait. Someone in the 6-9 area would surely take him off our hands and if they didn't then there we go.

Sure, that sounds like a very Chiefs thing to do.

Well according to the "experts" we are both drafting tackles and moving them to the right side.

Because DERP DERP A DERP DERP.

I wondered this myself all the talk of albert going to guard why would you move the proven guy out of the harder position? But then again arent guards usually heavier?

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 03-03-2013, 11:05 AM

I think we're going to tag Albert so the new guy has a good mentor to teach him the ropes. It's all about learning the game for our LTotf.

However, I don't believe you can trade a rookie in his 1st year any longer. Someone else can verify that.

Pretty sure once you use the pick, that player is locked with your team. No idea why people keep mentioning this as a possibility.

good question. I'm assuming he will be fine but the draft will tell a lot since there hasn't been any news on that front.

B14ckmon · 03-03-2013, 11:13 AM

If Albert is resigned, I would think long and hard about taking Floyd from the Gators. Dude is going to be great in the NFL.

ChiliConCarnage · 03-03-2013, 11:13 AM

We have 2 young guards. Asamoah had a good year per PFF.
It seems like too much of a luxury to be a possibility.

Yes if Chiefs think LT is BPA and next year if the Chiefs think BPA is a LT they will take him and the year after that if the Chiefs think the BPA is LT they will take him and the year after that if the Chiefs think BPA is LT they will take him.....

If the Chiefs grade on players = and in each round the BPA happens to be LT we take him. we could have 3 LT from this draft.

**BigMeatballDave** · 03-03-2013, 11:15 AM

They should not take a LT #1 overall even if they don't re-sign Albert.

ChiefMojo · 03-03-2013, 11:15 AM

I think it is a either or type of situation. If we re-sign Albert, we are NOT taking a LT at #1. If we don't re-sign Albert, it is a major green flag that we are taking a LT at #1. Pretty clear cut to me.

If we were to re-sign Albert, then guys like Floyd, Milliner and still possibly Geno would come into play. As of this moment, I don't expect us to re-sign Albert.
