You're a dumbass for assuming Albert would automatically be successful at guard.

He's not the same player he was in college. His body has changed. He hasn't played left guard in TWO YEARS and hasn't learned SHIT about how to do it at the NFL level.

It would likely be another transition and a tough year for him.

Nevertheless, the word is that the Chiefs are thinking about it.

As a LT, yes, IMO.

Wow. According to everybody here they are perfectly happy with Niswanger.

I've heard what I've heard. And from two different sources. I think it's only an experiment.

Question of semantics.

He is much further along in his development at LT than Albert because he's been playing and working at the position for a hell of a lot longer.

However, Albert is a naturally gifted athlete with really fluid and quick feet who needs time to learn the nuances of teh position.

Giving up a second round pick for Gaither would have been a great investment because he's a guy with the size and strength to excel at RT, but also is a damn good LT who could move over should Albert not develop.

His primary issue, it seems, is injury concerns.

I agree. However, I would not be opposed to moving Niswanger to RG, he did a little bit of that under Herm and played OK. I think it's fairly obvious he isn't strong enough to be a center. He probably isn't good enough at Guard either, but as thin as we are, if he's better, it's worth a shot, one more position we don't have to draft.

I thought they were crazy. I ate copious amounts of crow.

I don't know what word you heard, but it's not even close to the truth.

.

I'd take him for anything that isn't the top 5 pick, he's superior to all of the OT's in the draft and is roughly the same age.

Are you questioning the voices in his head?

Nope wouldn't do it sorry.

I think there is going to be some good talent available in the 2nd round, and the Chiefs could use both 2nd rounders at other areas of need that are easily more important right now i.e., defense.

Too much value there in the 2nd, I don't think it's worth it to give up one of our 2nd rounders.

The Chiefs could draft a guard in the 3rd or 4th round.

What in the **** does a guard have to do with Gaither?

No disrespect, but you and Hamas are full of shit. You say you would love this, but it just isn't true. All offseason you have been ranting and raving about how we already have a LT and don't need to draft one. You could CRUCIFY Pioli if he ever made that kind of move.

Now, before you go and argue that this is different, and we don't need a LT at the #5 spot, most of you have scoffed at the idea of taking one early in the second. Come on now, you guys couldn't be happy no matter what happened.

2nd round picks are not equal to 1st round picks, it's acceptable to use a 2nd round pick on a RT.

Reading comprehension, try it sometime.
