Albert is our LT of the future, and I could understand the desire to lock up a premier left side of the line for the next 10 years, but it doesn't matter how beastly they can block if we continue to trot out scrubs like Thigpen to play behind them. You don't draft a G at #15 overall. It doesn't make sense. We have a LT, and we ought to give him a chance to develop before we decide to shuffle him inside. Albert could be the next Willie Roaf. We'll have to wait and see.

And suppose we pass on Stafford and draft Oher, or Rey, or whoever. WTF happens when we do better than expected and end up drafting 7th or 8th or some sh*t in 2010 and both Bradford and Sanchez are on the board and we miss out altogether? That would be a travesty.
This is exactly why drafting Oher over Stafford would be myopic.

Great post.
