No I would still take Long if I HAD to take one of the three (hint: so would ANY currently employed NFL GM), but otherwise KNOWING what I know now, I would trade down and take Albert.
I love how you make this stuff up...
#1 every LT gets help on occasion... LONG didn't get an inordinate amount.. and the BURDEN OF PROOF for your inane statement rests on you... show me a factual account of all his plays and compare him against other LTs and how much help was given as a percentage based on type of play (run or pass) Otherwise, it seems you are making this up to support a previously failed argument.
#2 How many MORE ProBowls does Long need to go to before you admit being wrong?
#3 How is it that you and Mecca know so much more than the rest of the people WORKING in the NFL right now? Bill Parcells seems to think he is a worthy LT, so would damn near any GM asked about him.

#1) The only LTs who get help are LTs who can't handle the guy in front of them. I don't recall a prime Walter Jones, Willie Roaf, Orlando Pace, Jonathon Ogden, Anthony Munoz, or Erik Williams needing help. (If an LT goes #1, he better be like those guys).
#2) I'd say 4 more, so that he proves he's as good as the currently unemployed 5 time Pro Bowler Roy Williams, since Pro Bowls are obvious measures of merit.
#3) I guess I missed the meeting where appealing to authority is now not a logical fallacy and that we shouldn't have opinions about decisions that GM's make. Bill Parcells also thought that Marcus Spears and Bobby Carpenter were worth 1st rounders and he traded down to pass on Stephen Jackson so that he could have Julius Jones, so he's obviously a genious, given that he has <del>15, 10, 5, 3, 2, 1<del> 0 playoff wins without Bill Belichick.</del></del>
