I could not disagre any more.
The Chiefs went to the spread in the 6th(?) last season and Albert was playing great in those first 4 games last year on athletic ability alone.
He's struggling with technique this year, learning on the fly, while also learning a new scheme, and adjusting to his weight loss.
And the fact is, none of the LTs in this draft are as highly rated as the fifth best LT prospect from last year.
I fully expect that by the end of this season, concerns about Albert will be laid to rest.
But even if I'm wrong, I wouldn't use a top 5 pick on Russel Okung.
