It is true.. I have entirely missed the point about how we are (a) stuck in a win-now mode, and (b) that is bad. We finally have a FO going out and getting good players to fill gaping holes in our roster, from the last FO, and we are complaining that they are trying to win?

I am trying to understand the point, but I really don't.

Yes, he does actually.

Jacksonville is working on it. They're shoe-ins for Super Bowl L.

Pioli wasted nearly 4 drafts. I like Berry, Hudson, and Houston but that's about it. I mean, we're talking b/u players for the most part.

I'm talking about one for one. In a vacuum. In a moment. Not over four years.

The Chiefs dump Albert and pick Joeckel.

Find one decision Pioli made that was worse.

Define the word "dump"

I'm good with any of those scenarios other than allowing him to play out his tender.

I'm not comparing 4 drafts to one pick.

The closest thing would be drafting Tyson Jackson #3, but at least you got something for the pick. You added something, however miniscule.

**** Albert for Joeckel.

This. Trading Albert and going for Joeckel will just be another move that flies in the face of win now.

The moves this front office is making are just baffling as they're fairly mediocre moves with little real upside, so if they're looking to win now they're really expecting the coaches to make a lot of difference. Reid said him and Dorsey believe you build through the draft, and I think that's the plan, its just a shame they felt the need to give up what they did for Alex Smith, but I think it was considered necessary (major need at QB, need someone they can realistically trot out as successful move to fans and players). I just hope they're not as married to it as they act like they are because I think its going to bite them bad.

I'm not at all impressed with the moves this front office is making thus far. Only time will tell if I hate the Alex Smith trade as much as the Cassel one or not, the rest is pretty meh (to me those moves look more like they're just plain filling needs more than have any real belief they're "win now" moves although I think they're hoping to sell fans on that). We'll see about the draft but I have a feeling I'm not going to be any more impressed with them after it.

It would save approximately $5 million against the cap and give them another four to five years before possibly replacing him.

That's all I've got.

Excellent point. But I'd still prefer that they not let Albert walk and replace him 1.1.

We need a trade down to recoup that 2nd rounder.

All evidence points to the fact they will NOT be as maniacally married to Smith as Pioli was to Cassel. Reid has shown over and over that he is willing to change his mind on players to help his team succeed.

Would you trade Albert for Joeckel and Use Miami 2nd round pick on Margus Hunt DE
