My grade of our first day: C+

Jeeze, you would think KC lost value in the trade with Detroit.

They lost the fifth rounder they got for Trent Green. BFD!

Hey if the guy is a franchise LT, I have no right to complain.

But just imagine if he turns out to be a guard. Pro Guard or not, I don't know if I take him in the 1st -- much less give up a pick for him. Especially if that pick is a fifth, where you can normally find a solid starting guard anyway.

Guards are kind of important, too, so you end up with a very low risk pick with an insanely high ceiling. I do not understand how you can complain about this pick when the other options were Otah or ****in' Cherilus.

I would have preferred Otah at #17 than sacrificing a 5th and trading 3rds to get Albert at #15.

And what a massive sacrifice it was! Hanging on in the hopes of finding a lucky gem is way better than getting a guaranteed starting-caliber guard who could be an elite LT.

I give up a 5th for a Pro Bowl Guard any day. Will he be a Pro Bowl Guard? dunno. will he be our starting LT? dunno. But he's a great OLine talent, and is ready to start day 1, don't know that otah is ready to start at all.
