What I'm saying is that by drafting Okung, it allows you to move Albert inside to left guard and you basically get a two for one in terms of immediately improving your offensive line. You aren't forced to roll the dice hoping that Albert can make the improvements to his game to bring him back to snuff at LT, and then go look for another guard later on in the draft. At least to me, having Okung and Albert on the left side is a major potential improvement over hoping Albert gets it together at LT and then inserting some aging, overpriced FA or low round rookie at LG. And there really isn't a lot of stud LT prospects in this next draft. Tons of RT guys.
For some reason, a lot of guys around here have an immediate adverse reaction to any Big 12 players. But I don't think that you can do that with Okung. The guy can play and has all the tools that you look for in a potential starting LT.
