That would be great and I'd have no complaints about his draft spot.

I don't know about that; Reid seems to value both tackles equally, and with the way the defensive game in the NFL has evolved, I think he may be ahead of the curve in understanding the importance of having solid bookend tackles. It is worth noting that all four tackles in the Super Bowl were former first round picks. I hope they sign Albert to a long term deal in the offseason; we'd be set at T for a long time to come.
