I'm sorry, but no one, other than some people on this board were saying that.

This team has so many needs and so little depth taking another LT, at 5, would be ****ing stupid.

The people who are saying we should now draft Okung.

I certainly don't remember that.

I remember they all thought it was a good pick and saw the potential for him to develop into a good LT, but I don't believe anyone labeled him as the best LT in that draft.

I think Long and Clady were generally considered the best.

If the Chiefs do take Okung and then Pouncey in the second, The O-Line is fixed. The defense automatically is improved because then they don't have to spend 40+ minutes a game on the field.

Or Cassel 40 plus times on the ground.

I don't either.

I recall people saying he had the potential to be the best for our scheme, but nothing more than that.

I think people are confusing some of us realizing that Clady didn't fit in our scheme as saying Albert was a better prospect.

Because that worked so well in the DV era when our o-line was all-world.

I know we were horrible. Reeally really bad team. Herm was such a great refresher after the fail that was DV.

God damn, why is every****ing thing so ****ing difficult?

Yep I have to admit it no one knows OL like CP draftniks unquestioned.

T Russell Okung - One of three finalists for the Outland Trophy, Okung allowed just one sack and two quarterback pressures all season. He was credited with 127 knockdown blocks and 58 domination blocks. OSU led the Big 12 in rushing for the fourth consecutive season.

Suckage

In either case, 0-1 in the playoffs.

OKST doesn't pass as much as a lot of other schools, when they do pass its out of the shotgun and the ball is quickly released. Okung doesn't hold up blockers as long has he would in a Pro Style offense, and if you actually watched him play pass blocking isn't his thing. He looks better because of the spread, and a lot of college linemen don't give up sacks. Herb Taylor didn't give up sacks, that didn't make him a great NFL LT. Okung is a great run blocker, and thats what makes him a RT. RT's aren't worth top five picks. Albert is a better pass blocker, and that makes him a better LT for us. Okung can't pull to save his life, and we used Albert to pull a lot last year, and he did it well. Thats what makes him a better LT for us.

Who cares if he sucks or not? Replacing a guy you already have after 2 years is idiotic.
