For the Chiefs, I think it's a bit of the square peg/round hole syndrome.

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter what we think.
First, I think that Albert has far more potential than Richardson at LT, but I think Richardson has some real talent to work with.
I also think that Richardson has more upside as a RT than Albert.
He isn't as long and lean as Albert, and has the frame to add 15 lbs or so without affecting the athletic ability he possesses, which could serve him well as both a run blocker as well as in pass protect.
I also watched Richardson closely at RT last year in the preseason and he played better than any of teh guys we trotted out there all season, including O'Callagahn.
But we saw that this staff does have some sacred cows in Niswanger and Goff.
And as soon as O'Callaghan became familiar with the system, he was trotted out there as the starter, and he proved to be the exact kind of player I said he was when I melted down after the final preseason roster cuts and waiver pickups.
