When did I ever say draft an OG in the top 5 you douche bag. Also I said a player like Shields, not Shields...

Then you can bump this up and serve me a plate of crow, but I'll take my chances (based on how Albert played at LT - that's the point).

But Smith is better than Monroe... Monroe must be better than Albert since Albert couldn't start at LT over him... but Albert is better than Smith... :hmmm:

You would technically be wasting the pick. You already have a LT......go fill another hole. You don't draft a replacement for your young/good LT because you think the LT that is available could be better than him.

Two possession WR's seems to work for the Cardinals :shrug:
Arent ocho-cinco and TJ Housh considered possession guys too?

I don't think we should draft a LT, I think we should draft Stafford or Sanchez. MAYBE Curry but I would much rather have the QB.

Didn't, not couldn't.

I'll wager right now that every OT that gets drafted in the first round this year and starts 15+ games as a rookie gives up more sacks than Albert.

I understand that point completely, were we disagree, is that you are assuming our line needs no help, where as, I see, that ONLY, ALBERT has a long-term future with the team. The rest could use major upgrades and I don't believe Waters will be here for more than a couple of years. I see one spot filled and four that need to be upgraded.

Wow, easy there youngster, I made a comment on something you posted. I never accused you of saying that, my point was if you draft another OT, then slide Albert to Guard, it is not a smart move with the way he is playing. It would be the equivolent of drafting a guard in the 5th spot, and paying him LT money, and then dishing even more money out for his replacement LT. Not a smart move when Albert is doing a very good job.

Yep, I said the same thing, but apparently we don't know what we are talking about.

I don't disagree with that at all. I think we need upgrades at C, RG and RT, along with a future prospect for LG -- but none of that has any relevance to the No. 3 pick because ONLY a LT is appropriate there, and we have a damn good (potentially elite) one of those.

I think CJ and TJ are pretty deceant deep threats. Housh would be more of a possesion reciever than Chad though.

Yep. I understand where you're coming from BigChiefFan, but this post really sums it up IMO. I think we can address our other O-Line issues outside of the first round easily. We could get Mack, Luigs, or one of the other good centers in the 2nd round. I think we might even possibly be able to snatch Alex boone in the 4th if we get really lucky, he is in the 3rd-4th round range right now.

Good post. We obviously can and will look in the later rounds for upgrades to our line, I just think the LTs of this draft are top 10 picks in most drafts, so I prefer VALUE out of the draft. I'm not advocating going after a LT, just that there are some damn good players there, that could improve our o-line and I wouldn't fault the Chiefs for going down that road is all.


BTW, I think Eugene Monroe is going to kick ass and take names in the NFL.

I agree. Thats the Patriot way. Pioli knows the players and if he can get as many picks in the 3rd and 4th rounds as possible he'll do it. Or i could see him trade the 3rd overall pick for someone elses #2,#3,#4 and a #1 next year. And he'll get 4 Pro Bowlers out of it.
