Granted we don't know if one of the other tackles from the draft will be elite either but they also won't be getting elite money. He would be paid more in line with what we were paying Winston.

Truth and common sense for some are just out of the question;)

You nailed it here:thumb:

FRCDFED and chiefsshrink must be some of the morons I encounter on Facebook.

I'm talking about the Chiefs feeds on Facebook you reerun.

The fact that you think we overrate Albert proves you're a moron.

1 sack. Eat shit.

Oh really? Albert has done a superb job considering he had to protect Matt "I create my own pressure" Cassel for the majority of his career. Get out with that shit. He absolutely deserves the 9 million that Jake Long is getting. What injury? Last time I checked, he passed his physical.

What top lt is getting 5 million a year?

Take a look at how the best LTs are paid:

1. Jason Peters at Tackle $10,400,000
2. Joe Thomas at Tackle $10,000,000
3. Ryan Clady at Tackle $9,828,000 franchise tag
4. Brandon Albert at Tackle $9,828,000 franchise tag
5. Jordan Gross at Tackle$8,700,000
6. D'Brickashaw Ferguson at Tackle $7,250,000
7. Russell Okung at Tackle$7,060,000
8. Doug Free at Tackle $7,000,000
9. Michael Roos at Tackle $6,000,000
10. Gosder Cherilus at Tackle $5,500,000

LT is a premium position. And we have a very good one. You can see from the list that some of those guys aren't earning the contracts they got. But that's the market. Drafting a tackle because you can save money is idiotic any way you look at it. Some teams struggle to find good LTs. You're justifying letting a good one go and hoping to find a new one all for the sake of saving a few million dollars of Clark Hunt's money. WTF?

You want the best player in the draft if you are picking first overall.

Best player in the draft=best possibility of being a HOF.

Joekel is the most NFL ready player in this draft.

But even among his position group, he is less athletic, not as quickn nor as strong as some of the other prospects.

He's a guy with a high floor, but a low ceiling, having almost certainly come close to already touching it.

Yeah I hate it too. It would be more understandable if Albert wanted out, but everything I've read indicates he's more than happy playing LT for the Chiefs. I haven't been paying a lot of attention to the threads here regarding Albert, but I assume he just wants to get paid among the best LTs in the NFL and the Chiefs would rather trade him for more picks and replace him with the #1 pick that would cost less than what Albert's current asking price. Is that about right?

I must have missed all the Albert love the last five years. He is suddenly John Alt. Look they - the chief - must think his back is balky or simply think that Jeockel is superior now and going forward. Look if we end up with Joeckel and a 2nd rnd QB - which I doubt happens - will people still be freaking out?
