Babb: It's almost the middle of October. Too early to start thinking about the draft

If you're telling me a coach is so set in his ways that he can't play to what his players do well that is a major problem.

How do you know Albert is "his" player?

If he plays inside it would have to be similar to what Vermeil ran. Smaller/finesse players like Weigman could excel in it, but when asked to maul they couldn't. It isn't a matter of just putting him inside because he played inside at Virginia.

So just cut his worthless ass and move on

Did I say cut him? Did I say he can't cut it at LT? You can't simply plug people into different systems and think they can handle it. As great of a QB that Joe Montana was, he wouldn't have won all those rings if he was asked to run the system Peyton Manning runs.

Why would a team that wants mauling lineman want all their guys to lose weight?

That makes no god damn sense.

Stamina? Muscle/fat?

We aren't running a zone scheme or asking them to pull and move a lot are we?

Babb is a ****ing moron.

He wanted to trade for Cassel and draft curry last year, and this year he'd pass on a playmaker and take a spread LT?

Let's go ahead and give up on Albert.

I sure hope Cleveland gives up on Joe Thomas also.

If Cleveland wants to trade us Joe Thomas, I would put Albert's butt at guard then. It would be about the only way I would do it though.

This article is a fail. I hope babb doesn't have any inside information on the chiefs potential draft decisions. No way we should draft okung, it doesn't make sense to move albert and too high of a pick for a RT. I'm still wondering why albert looks so crappy this season and he was solid last year. That baffles me. Too bad we reached on jackson last year, suh actually looks like he is worth a top 3 pick. So, we can't go d-line with the first pick. My vote is mays or berry, whoever grades out higher. The more decisions pioli makes the more confirmation i get that belichek/mcdaniels were the real brains behind the patriots way.

Albert - Waters - 2nd Rd Pick - Ndukwe - 2nd Rd Pick

My first round pick is either a safety or LB, in the third I'd look at LB, or WR.

[Saccopoo]

Okung.

Playmaker blah, blah, blah.

If your QB is getting killed, no amount of "playmaker" on defense is going to help you. ****ing reeruned to even think that. Drafting Okung gives the Chiefs two players on the offensive line as Albert moves to LG with that pick, and as such give Cassel a decent offensive line to play behind. Well, at least better than what they have.

A safety pick is a luxury pick. It is less than the ILB position, less than a rush end, less than a RT, and substantially less than a LT.

It would be super-sweet if the Chiefs had the luxury of drafting a good safety like Mays or Berry with that first pick. However, they don't. They have to and will draft the best offensive lineman with their first round pick. Period.

Get used to it now. Embrace it. Live in the moment.

'Cause it's going to happen.

Even if I agreed with you, that we should draft a LT in the first, which I don't, I'd fully expect you to be wrong.

Looking at the Patriots draft history, combined with what Pioli did last year with the Chiefs draft, I highly doubt thathe'll spend a pick that high on the O-Line.
