Why, in the name of ****, would you want to move Branden Albert, who is going to be a Pro Bowl left tackle, to a less important position on the line where he goes from being underpaid to overpaid as a virtue of the move, and causes you to dump millions more on a replacement whose upside is little more than what Albert has already proven he can do?

Actually that would be himself as he has no agent.

I'm not insisting on it nor saying it will happen but it is a possibility that would a) give us 2/5 of a kick-ass Oline and b) take advantage of the value at the top of the draft. Oline is definitely a need, so it's not like I am insane to suggest we add another piece and adding a top 3 prospect is a great way to replace a 32 year old player on the line.

By the way, there is no guarantee that Albert is "going to be" a Pro Bowl left tackle (although he looked great last year) and, really, I don't care so very much about overpaid/underpaid since it isn't my money as long as the Chiefs are able to field a competetive team (and there doesn't seem to be any money constraints at the moment).

Bills interested in Chiefs guard

BFR's Pat Moran has the lowdown on a possible trade looming. The Bills might not be finished upgrading their offensive line. Disgruntled guard Brian Waters could be Buffalo-bound. Read this Buffalo Football Report exclusive inside...

The Buffalo Bills are interested in trading for disgruntled Kansas City Chiefs guard Brian Waters, according to a trusted source.

The Bills, in the market for a new left guard after releasing Derrick Dockery on Thursday, could be looking to land the four-time Pro Bowler for a deal similar to the Marcus Stroud trade last year, when they gave up third and fifth round draft picks.

Waters has become disenchanted with the additions to the Chiefs organization. According to Kansas City Star writer Jason Whitlock, Waters asked for his release after new general manager Scott Pioli said he had no interest in meeting him. Whitlock said that Waters was “offended and shocked.”

Also according to the report, several Arizona Cardinals, including Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald, gave new head coach Todd Haley less than glowing reviews. Haley was called “condescending and ignored by veterans.”

While Waters is 32 years of age and the Chiefs offensive line struggled mightily, there is little doubt about his ability to perform. He would be an instant upgrade over Dockery and could give Buffalo one of the finer left sides of the offensive line in the NFL alongside Jason Peters.

The Bills would likely have to give Waters a new deal. He’s in the fourth year of a six year, $26.5 million deal and has made no bones about declaring himself underpaid.

While an interest in a Waters trade hasn’t been made public, a source inside the organization tells me the Bills are “very much interested in him.”

Pioli refused to honor his request to be released and weren’t open to trading him. But that could change after the Chiefs lost a second-round pick in acquiring Matt Cassel from the New England Patriots. By trading the displeased Waters, the club could recoup draft picks as well as not have their new franchise quarterback hampered with an offensive line that includes an exceedingly unhappy left guard.

Stay tuned right here for more details as they come available.

Absolutely no chance a guy that is 6'2", 220 lbs who just ran a 4.3 flat is going any later than the first round.

His stock will skyrocket.

We have a decent QB coming in now, so why not send our best reciever and our best O linemen to another team? Yeah, that makes sense.

Well, that would allow us to slide Albert to LG and draft one of the top LTs in this draft.
