So we grab Albert at 15, and if he is strictly a guard I think the pick still has a lot of value. Now I believe he will be a great LT. Bringing him in at LT next to Brian Waters gives us a huge left side of the line to pass protect and to carve out holes for LJ. And don't forget that means we upgraded at RT by moving McIntosh over there.
We swapped 3rd round pick (Moved down 10 spots) and gave them a 5th.
I'd rather have Albert over William, Clady, Otah and the rest of the bunch.

I don't disagree about Dorsey.
Albert's the big risk here.
It'd be one thing if we dropped our 17th on him, which I still wouldn't have been thrilled about doing for a guard.
But if we traded away an additional pick,
and swapped thirds, for a
guard, Albert would have been a mistake. The only way this is a good pick is if he starts OT on Day One (hopefully LT, but that's wishful thinking), and does well.
