Clearly the Dolphins thought they could shove Dorsey around by trading their second round pick to move up, and then drafting something OTHER THAN a left tackle.

Kudos to Dorsey for not caving in and accepting their crappy trade offer. A third round pick for Albert would have been ridiculous.

I must say I'm shocked about this. I don't know if this is a positive PR stunt, trying to make nice with Albert for a year or if they really want him longterm, but I can't envision them ever paying his asking price on a multi-year deal.

Yet, he's not backing off from the 9 million per year contract excluding the signing bonus .

He will.

The only consolation is that his eventual replacement will play like a minor God behind that line.

Some of you guys aren't thinking long term. It makes sense to buy Albert now and then use him for LT, G as his career winds down. It also adds the assurance that if he gets injured then Fisher can swing to the other side and play LT.

It's not as sexy as drafting Luck or RG3 but that's the hand that was dealt to KC. Live with it.

And again, the point is driven home:

Get a REAL QB in here pronto and we're set to rape faces.

Part of the reason Troy Aikman was such a BAMF was that line in Dallas...holy god the thought of that in KC is making me JIMP.

Are you per chance "shocked" about the great addition of another FB? Per chance?

Would you be willing to pay him his contract if you were able to play him at any position you please? For instance, his "Duane Brown money" contract to play LG?

So Dorsey drafted a right tackle 1.1 and traded for a fullback.


Wow.

You're right, I guess I should fall in line like the rest of you. Maybe we can draft a LG with our first rounder next year. You can never have enough first round picks spent on the Oline.

After drafting a FB.

I wouldn't ever pay a guard that much money.

I think Albert's ceiling is around 7.5 million a year.
