No sh*t.
We didn't draft Albert to play G...or RT. He was drafted to be our LT and he's doing surprisingly well for a rookie. You don't always have to take the best player available.
Hell, Crabtree might prove to be the BPA after this season's done. I don't want to take him #1 overall even if he is. We desperately need a QB we can build a team around. I wanted Brodie to be the answer. He got injured. He isn't the answer. We don't need to sign an LT and try to switch Albert around and totally nullify his entire season learning the position because Oher is the BPA. If Stafford is graded high enough, or any other QB that might come out; take them.
Who knows when we'll be in the position to grab a franchise QB again. If we do better than expected next season and don't grab a QB, then we might miss the train altogether and then what?
Wait for one of these spread offense gimmick QB's to come out and draft them and spend two seasons just letting them learn the pro style offense?
How many people would be advocating taking Crabtree if he ended up with like 1,500 yards recieving and 25 TD's?
