Chiefs All kidding aside, #3 pick?

CaliforniaChief · 01-23-2009, 03:03 PM

I'm of the belief that we might actually be able to trade down to #10 (San Francisco might want to get in front of Seattle in order to grab Sanchez or Stafford.) If we do this, then I'd like to see us get a guy like Maulauga from USC. If we stay at #3, I'm a fan of drafting the best tackle available so that we can set our tackles for the next 10 years. If we don't keep improving the line, we're going to struggle to keep QB's healthy.

If i could choose between Stafford and Sanchez, I'll take Sanchez hands down. He's more mobile and yeah, he's only been a starter for 1 year, but the kid's a leader and a winner. I like his attitude.

I am tired of reading these statements. Brandon Albert is our LT, period. You don't draft a RT with the 3rd pick.

The LT we drafted #3 would be our LT, not RT. I think we should leave Albert at LT, but he wasn't Pioli's pick or our HC's(assuming the axe falls on Herm). They can easily move Albert to guard if they feel hes best there and want thier LT of the future. Its a whole different story if we still had Carl and Herm though.

If Pioli's as good at evaluating talent as we think, there ain't no way he's spending a top pick and $60 million on a tackle to "upgrade" Albert, therefore he would be spending the pick on a RT.

3rd pick is greater than the 15th pick-your logic flawed.

You missed the point. Albert is going to be a damn good LT, and Pioli will see that.

Andre Smith is NOT better than Albert.

But Smith is better than Monroe... Monroe must be better than Albert since Albert couldn't start at LT over him... but Albert is better than Smith...

I understand that point completely, were we disagree, is that you are assuming our line needs no help, where as, I see, that ONLY, ALBERT has a long-term future with the team. The rest could use major upgrades and I don't believe Waters will be here for more than a couple of years. I see one spot filled and four that need to be upgraded.

What if he thinks Albert can the like Will Shields and he thinks whoever we draft could be like Willie Roaf? What if he thinks Albert is just some above average LT?

Will Shields was found in the third round IIRC. You don't waste a top 5 pick on a guard.

When did I ever say draft an OG in the top 5 you douche bag. Also I said a player like Shields, not Shields...

If you know he's Will Shields you do....Not that we know that.

Then you can bump this up and serve me a plate of crow, but I'll take my chances (based on how Albert played at LT - that's the point).

Im quoting this to show my approval of this message.

That's what I said. There is no need to move Albert to guard, Pioli isn't going to move him.
