As someone that shares the same name with Branden Albert (only difference is my first name is Brandon) this pains me

Maybe it's because I'm a dad now, but I find it harder and harder to care about any of this.

Exactly. If Pioli was in charge of these moves, NOBODY would approve.

What do you guys think theyll do with 2nd rounder now? Maybe we can flip him to the Lions or Eagles. THe Lions are kind of dumb

I don't know if Pioli would have traded for Smith, but he would have let Albert go and drafted LT at 1.

Lions used their #1 pick on a franchise QB.

I don't understand this line of thinking. If Jake Mathews is better, than why was he the RT?

Albert is a fringe Pro Bowl Caliber Tackle. He's a proven commodity. Stats would suggest he's a top 10. So to say Joeckel is better is foolish. And i doubt they view him as "significantly" better. Clearly, they think Albert is a Franchise Caliber player. If they didn't, they wouldn't Franchise tag him to the tune of nearly 10m. Sadly, i DO think cost is a significant factor in this move. But as a fan, why should you care about how much a player costs? Especially after they've already over paid for "meh" players this offseason? Your concern should be about putting the best product on the field, and swapping a fringe Pro Bowler for a Pro Bowler at best (which I doubt Joeckel will be as long as he's blocking for Alex Smith) is't a significant upgrade. |

Maybe it's a self preservation move but I'd say ever since a few years ago, I just realized that I love the team, I root for them and all but they don't consult me or ask what I would do. I have no say whatsoever. So why take it personally when they lose? And now I don't. I guess I've grown more apathetic towards the team more so over the years. That's why I'm over the fact that they won't draft Geno. I'm over that they traded for Alex. etc. I think it's mistake but all I can do is hope it works out. If it doesn't? No big deal. |

If you have the #1 pick, you better expect any player you take to have a Hall of Fame career.
