Cassel has played for two years.
Niswanger has been in the league for four years and started for two.
Legget was part of the same draft as Dorsey and Albert.
Jackson and Dorsey converting to 34 ends are as close to Albert in terms of transitioning, but still haven't gone through the same number of changes that Albert has been through.

Your point fails, cause when it comes to foot speed, that, or lack thereof, is the biggest red flag for a potential LT.

And that's why I put up those vids, so you can take a look at his foot speed. Looked pretty good, especially compared to other top tackles in this draft. But I'd hate to have you form your own opinion versus reading a mock draft site...

When Albert was drafted, this team was making a commitement to rebuilding, and they didn't need players who could come in and contribute right away.
They needed guys with potential to become the core group in three years, and Albert's potential and athletic ability was exactly the type to fill that bill.

I'm glad you had/have such a high opinion of McIntosh. So, what you are saying is that he's got one more year to reach that potential of a first round, franchise left tackle? And then what? Say he performs to the exact same level in 2010 that he did in 2009 - what's your viewpoint of the position then? Do we go after the top tackle next year, which looks to be Barksdale? I mean, next years line class is going to be pretty damn weak. Are you hoping that we'll find some diamond in the rough this year? Next year? Would you be happy with the Chiefs soldiering on with mediocrity at the LT spot for the next decade?

No, they are questioning Okung's potential because of a lack of foot speed.
|
Who is? He had better footwork than Davis, Bulaga, Iupati, Campbell and looked even better than Brown. I don't have zeroed in game evaluation tapes, but he looked substantially better than the other guys people are touting as top tackles.
