We could switch to any scheme on offense, it in no way would diminish Albert's value at LT.
We would, however, be diminishing Albert's value by who we draft, and regardless of need, a RT is not as valuable as LT.

Fair enough... I'm arguing positional specifics in relation to need & position in the draft, you're arguing positional specifics in regards to scheme changes. I see your point and agree that it is valid.

Agreed. He had 46 tackles (32 solo), 1 sack, and 1 FF. Those numbers are very good, especially when you consider the variables: poor defensive scheme, poor coaching, poor surrounding talent, rookie season.
