Quite honestly, I haven't been on CP much. I watched the first pick and watched some other crap with my wife. I figured it'd be a bunch of gushing vaginas and it sounds like it has been.

But don't you need to at least have a justification as to why you believe they will other than "well it's the NFL"? What doesn't Eric Fisher have in a LT?
The only thing I can see is a long list of game-film showing him beating on superior opponents. But man, if you saw his Senior Bowl tape and weren't impressed by what he did to some damn highly regarded lineman, I suggest you just weren't paying attention.

I haven't paid attention. But my beef isn't with Fisher as an LT, it's more dumping our good LT to piss off the 1.1 pick on someone who
might be
marginally better than our LT.

There can absolutely be a huge gain from Albert to Fisher. Fisher would have to be a great player, but there's nothing that suggests he can't be.

When you're as shitty as the chiefs were at CB, S, QB, DL, WR2, TE, ILB, it makes no sense to me to use 1.1 on a pick that
might improve on your really good LT.
