Did you happen to ask him why he wasn't sold on Albert as a LT?
I'm really surprised by the huge analyst turnaround on Albert. The weeks before the draft, everyone said he had great feet and good hands and that he could develop into a good LT. Nobody, absolutely nobody talked about him playing RT in the NFL. Now, when you read mock drafts everyone talks about drafting a LT and moving Albert to RT or Guard. Guard is somewhat self explanatory since he played guard in college. I can rationalize that argument, even if I don't agree with it 100%. But, I can't see where the hell the RT talk is coming from.
