Miami won't be able to draft one of the top 3 LTs at 12.

At least 3 teams need one before they pick.

They would need to move up in front of SD to get one.

Why not just trade both 2s for a proven guy?

Bolded the keyword. You have no clue what the **** he'll be.

Why do you care about Clark's money? The Chiefs can keep as many of their own players are they want. The cap, as it's always been, isn't an issue.

In this scenario, you already don't want to keep/ pay one of your own.


You are also taking an unknown at lt.

But for ChiefsandO'sfan it only takes one!

Really. It is hard to imagine what combination of players on our team is going to get enough to put us in bad shape.
But if we are going to be in bad shape that could be part of the reason to go with a rookie to get that positions salary down.

No it's not 9.8m time 20% tagged twice.

Luckily, it doesn't take two balls to trade for backup QBs. Otherwise, the Chiefs would have been ****ed a long time ago.

Gutless, pussy ****ing franchise.

We don't know what any prospect will be, but this is the strongest LT class since 2008.

All 3 LT's are top 10 prospects in this draft.

This is what I've expected all along. A second round pick this year along with a fifth or so at some point. If they can get it, more power to them.

Despite what's been said in this thread, Albert is neither young nor indispensable. He's 28 years old and will turn 29 mid-season. He had issues with back spasms that caused him to miss the better part of five games. No one knows if he can stay healthy for the next five seasons and if not, he is not worth $10 million per year in cap space. That's reeruned.

Trading Albert and drafting a Joekel, Fisher or Lane is a calculated risk. But when your new front office is dealing with one of the worst football teams in the NFL over the course of the past 20 years, calculated risks will be necessary from time to time.

Second year tag adds 20% to previous tag amount.

Albert is one of those I consider "our own".

I don't think Miami's 2nd is going to be good enough to get Manuel and nothing else measures up really. Just stay where we are is probably the best thing.
