As of now sure hes the best pick of the draft, but only a complete ****ing idiot would judge a draft class after two years. Also being the top LT doesn't make you elite and if we are replacing Albert it better be with a HOF LT otherwise its a complete waste. You don't use a top five pick for a minimal upgrade. Hell I would be shocked if Okung was even an upgrade at all in our system, sure another position would be upgraded but those are positions that don't warrant top 5 picks. Jesus its crazy how draft reeruned the majority of Chiefs fans are.

IF you look back, this is my point as well. Okung is NOT enough (if at all, he never impressed me much) of an upgrade over Albert to warrant picking when we have far bigger issues to address.
My post was simply regarding the hatefest for Jake Long that exists on this board. Those same people were creaming over Dorsey , who I never liked and instead wanted us to trade down at damn near any cost. Herm actually wanted to as well but was overruled by Carl. btw I STILL hope I was wrong on Dorsey and he was just horribly miscoached by us so far.
