Because BG mentioned trading one of our 2nd rounders for Gaither and moving Albert over to LG. Im saying, keep our 2nd rounders, invest them on defense instead, possibly draft a guard in the 3rd or 4th and the Chiefs can leave Albert where he is and let him learn the LT position.

I'm pretty sure he'd get tried at the other OT first, but here's how it goes, Gaither for a 2 is an outstanding deal, I'm a fan of the draft but the idea that for a team like ours a 2 is better is frankly overvaluing the pick.

Gaither is the same age as many of the prospects in the draft.

Just so I fully understand.

While I have no problem keeping Albert at LT. If the opportunity presented itself where we could lock up a good to potentially very good LT and move Brendan to guard, you would turn it down for the 50th pick in the draft because we need defense?

Holy mother of ****ing christ.

He's 23. He's played in a winning organization and produced. He's 23, which would also be younger than some of the players in this draft.I'll just mention again that he's 23 years old.

You would swear that Carl Peterson/Scott Pioli posts here.

I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong, I've done it over and over again here. But I had Baltimore in the CP mock that year and I took Flacco in the 2nd round and got chided by a few people over it.

You're spinning your wheels. I'm stumped. Even the most avid Albert fan can agree that Gaither for a 2nd rounder is like stealing.

I think a lot of posters on here just watch the Chiefs. They are like the fantasy owners who think they should give up peanuts for someone else's prize, but thinks you need to give up the brinks truck for their studs.

I have been pimping Jason Fox in the draft all offseason because he's a guy that I think can excel at RT, and has the athletic ability to move over and play LT if Albert continues to struggle.

The Ravens had concerns about Gaither, and had a LT prospect fall to them in the middle of the first round.

But the biggest difference is that Oher is a hell of lot better LT prospect than any of the LTs in this draft, and I'm not pissing away a top 5 pick on a RT.

If you get a starting LT for a 2nd round pick, it frankly doesn't matter where Albert was drafted anymore, you didn't use 2 1st round picks.

I think KCJohnny knows more about what's going on with the Chiefs than Kent Babb.

I am the most avid Albert fan, and I'm admitting that a 2nd for Gaither is a steal.

Seriously if this team drafts an OT with a top 5 pick after this FA signing I'm going to strongly consider finding a new hobby.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of his either. I chuckled when I saw that he even got a shoutout on walterfootball.com.

What's the difference in value between the #5 and #50 pick in the draft?

About the same as the difference on a continuum between Terry Schiavo (#5) and you (#50)

Yes Gaither is a good young player, I like the kid.

But if Im running a team, Im looking at balance. I want my team to be well balanced and go from there. By saying that, Im weighing the teams weaknesses and strengths throughout. From there I decide what is most important, I look at the draft, and intend on taking BPA to go along with satisfying the teams needs.

If one has to weigh who was better in performance between the Oline and passrush last year. Offensive line wins. Offensive line didn't perform well throughout the season, if I had to judge the OL it would be satisfactory level. But I will say the OL got better as the season went on, which is a positive. The passrush however, was dismal throughout the entire season and it has been over the last two years. Offensive line is more of a strength on this team then the passrush. There may be some good passrushers available in the 2nd round, why not keep that pick and select the BPA in the 2nd, I have a feeling there will be a good passrusher sitting there when it comes time to pick. So Id rather see them address that issue since I feel it is definately more of a glaring need, but better yet, I'd like to see this team establish some balance. Go for balance. It's the best way. We'd be better off and build a stronger team down the road.

Hey Mecca, reading comprehension. Try it sometime.
