Dorsey using comp picks to gain edge in draft

[Hoover]

I thought it was the right move to franchise Albert.
I thought it was the right move to not take Miami's 3rd round pick for him.
Getting the comp pick for him this year lessens the pain, and I like comp picks.

I think the goal of any NFL team these days is to not get old. You get old by paying free agents big money, or resigning players who are approaching 30 big contracts. I don't think we should automatically try and get comp picks by watching our young talent leave. We must keep players like Hudson and Houston, they are just entering their prime. That said, its stupid to break the bank on Albert who's already 30 or guys like Asamoah who are nothing more than adequate at their positions.

How many of the Chiefs early-mid 2000's stud lineup of OL was in their low 20's?

2/5?

Albert was by far the best lineman this team had and a top LT in the league. The grand master plan for his replacement was a OT from the MAC... what a joke.

We got Roaf for a conditional 3rd round pick. NO wanted to move him because of his $4.25MM that was due to him on a 6 year, 27MM contract. That's peanuts.

That's also over a decade ago with a smaller salary cap...

Since 2002, the salary cap has nearly doubled.

How was it the right move to pass on Miami's 3rd rounder last year (in a WR deep draft) so that we could have a 3rd round comp pick this year? It's a lower pick and it's not tradeable. We could have used that pick last year.

Don't forget that we got to play Albert all of last year, and still basically get a 3rd round pick for him. Miami was offering nothing. We had no clue who would have been available with that pick.

We got a year out of Albert and dick to show for it. Orrrrr we could have stuck Fisher at LT right away and not wasted his first year at RT.

No shit we didn't have a clue. We also didn't have a 2nd round pick. That 3rd could have helped immensely.
