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.

Don't be dense, dumbshit.
Whether they actually started and played in games, they have been working at their respective positions since high school, for the most part, and to play that card is disingenuous, at best.

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...

I've seen Okung, and formed my own opinion.
He doesn't have elite foot speed, and looks like a RT on the next level.

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?

JFC.
The fact that we were in rebuilding mode means that we didn't need Albert to be all pro overnight, and has not a ****ing thing to do with my opinion of McIntosh.
If Albert doesn't improve, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
But for now, I'm prepared to move forward with Albert.

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.

You provided the link where it was suggested that others might be better prospects because of foot speed.
Go read your own damn links.

Perhaps.
