You can probably get the best C prospect in the 3 or 4th round. Jones has a lis franc injury so he'll probably drop.

That would be a pretty solid outcome, IMO.

If they drafted Joeckel according to my theory (of keeping both), it would be with the long term (~ a decade or so) in mind. I'm not as sure about Asamoah as you are and I think the jury is still out on Allen. Hopefully at least one of them is actually a long term stud and Hudson comes back strong either at G or C.

Yikes

There's just no way you can keep both. Financially and in terms of Albert signing, it won't work.

and here i thought "the case for nick foles" was the smelliest pile of shit to ever grace this board...

What are the chances Jones makes it to the 3rd round? IMO we have to address the CB situation in round 2.

Why won't it work? Like I said, you'd only be paying one player legit LT money and the Chiefs have plenty of room under the cap. Teams with less cap room do that all the time.

Also, on top of all the spots I just mentioned, we also just drafted two college offensive tackles (Don Stephenson and Jeff Allen) with the intent of moving Allen to guard.

That's a total, up to date investment of

1first rounder - Albert (that true fans want to jettison to take a very similar player with the top,pick with Joeckel)
2 2nd rounders (Rodney Hudson and Jeff Allen)
2 3rd rounders (Jon Asamoah and Don Stevenson)
A big free agent contract to Eric Winston

If we add the top overall pick to that list and jettison one of our best players that already mans the position, we are reeruned.

Add a center, or hope Allen pans out at guard and we are set besides a couple late round picks for depth.

It's no mistake that two gms that just got fired would pass on a quarterback for a linemen.

Name one team.

No they don't. Sorry, but it's just not an idea that will work.


You have to franchise Albert. He's not going to sign on then be moved to guard. If you franchise him, he can sit out.

He doesnt' want to play guard and he probably won't.

Feeling left out? Need attention?

Good argument. However, we are still faced with two realities:

1. Albert hasn't been resigned yet.

2. "Experts" (lol) think that Joeckel is considered one of the best overall players.

So if we lose him either to unusual demands or refusal to use the tag then we will need another OL in this draft.

I didn't know he had lisfranc.

Even knowing that, I'd take him in the third....have him immediately have the surgery and sart him off on pup with intentions for him to take over at center or guard my the end of his first season.

Not counting Jackson or Cassel, the Chiefs are around 40 million under the cap.

They need to reward guys like Albert and Bowe...not create more holes in this roster.

Taking Joeckel is like trading Albert AND the first overall pick for him.

That's just ridiculous to even fathom.
