Dorsey clearly likes to have options. Even if we want to resign Albert it makes little sense to do so before the draft and tip our hand...

What the **** kind of sense does this make?
Either:
1) You just spent your first overall pick to improve at right tackle.
or
2) You just spent your first overall pick to save four million bucks a year on your LT and you hope Joeckel becomes what Albert already is.
Drafting a LT at 1.1 would epitomize ineptitude on the part of the front office. You could not POSSIBLY find a more wasteful use of the top pick for the Chiefs.
I do agree that you should wait to sign Albert til after the draft, however.
