Chiefs Taking LT Monroe at #3 - the one thing I haven't seen anybody mention... - Page 6

htismaqe · 03-23-2009, 12:36 PM

I posted this on a couple of threads but it seemed to get lost and I thought it's worthy of discussion.

I see alot of people suggesting that we just move Albert to OG or RT. Well, what are we going to do if Albert beats out Monroe for the LT spot?

Monroe is a pure LT. He's not suited for guard or RT. Albert CAN move, but why would you move him if he's the best LT on the roster? We'd be making a sacrifice at THE MOST IMPORTANT position on the line when we could just as easily (and MUCH less expensively) get an OG or RT later in the draft.

It's something to think about. Alot of the people suggesting we take Monroe are the same people that have a problem with drafting Stafford or Sanchez because Cassel is, in their mind, the starter.

We took care of our LT problem last year, and it has worked out great so far, why draft another LT that high, we can get people fix the rest of the line later. Just not a smart move IMO.

Thank you!

I would think they're going to get a player at a bigger position of need, like Curry or Brown. That being said, I could see them eyeing Stafford simply because of the value of QB's and what happened with Matt Ryan last year. I would hope like hell they're not even considering Monroe.

All of that being said, the point of my "playing it safe" post had nothing really to do with any player, but more with the fact that he said he liked the thought of drafting Monroe because it was a "sure bet" and "less risk".

Stafford at 3 would be huge value. Yes, yes, yes.

I'm starting to wonder if Stafford isn't going to be the annual QB in free-fall.

If he drops to #3 and doesn't move at that spot, whether us or a trade, he definitely might. Could Sanchez be the 1st QB taken?

I think it's possible. Who knows, though. A lot can change in the next month.

Actually if you really break it down, what he did last year was downright fuggin REMARKABLE.

Ya it was. NOONE makes that transition. And to do it while missing as much time as did really has got to be one of the most impressive, encouraging things I've seen from any Chiefs player ever.

I think we will draft Tyson Jackson!

I think we'll trade the 3 for the 21st and 28th, then trade the 21st for 2 second round picks, trade the 28th for a second round and two thirds, then trade all of those up to 7 to get Maclin.

You don't draft a WR that high. I think they might draft a black bear.
