Graham isn't a bad player, but I would rather get someone who can start at the OTHER OLB spot and just stick with Hali. Hali is essentially another DL just standing up, and having Graham would be like having 5 DL just with two standing up.

I don't even know why you are wasting your time with Saca. It's obvious he hates Albert, that Albert will only get better and the only way this team can possibly improve is by adding Russell Okung to the offensive line and moving Albert to a position he's never played before.

Hell, look at this. These guys have adjusted the stats so that a player who is not at fault does not take fault for a sack. link
It says Branden Albert was only truly responsible for 6 sacks on the season. Not only that, but it also says that the Oline was responsible for 31 of the 42(?) sacks. Cassel and Haley take the blame for the rest. Also, found this from a poster over at Walterforums. Interesting breakdown. Basically breaks down # of sacks per team, then adds the % of pass vs. run plays. The average team gave up 34.25 sacks this season. The Chiefs gave up 8 more than the average, ranking 25th in pass blocking proficiency. 6 sacks came from LT 6 from the TE's (These guys were obviously over matched) 5 to the RG spot (definitely needs to be addressed, on the team or not. Smith/Harris/Brown?) 4 the right tackles 4 from RB/FB (Already been upgraded by cutting LJ who allowed 3) 4 from Wade Smith (played too many spots to be lumped in at one spot) 1 to Rudy Niswanger (bit of a surprise, make me ? their stats a little) 1 to Brian Waters So with a better OC, better QB play(assuming Weis can help Cassel speed up his reads), better RB play(which had already come into effect at the latter half of the season) and better TE play(Don't deny it, it's not a sexy position, but a good TE would really help this offense block and move the chains) Those numbers could easily come down below average. Like I said in previous posts, I'm willing to give Albert another year. His should be the hardest spot to play and therefore the hardest to learn and adjust to. The new offense should have affected him the most. |

Coming out, Hali was considered a high-motor player who was pretty polished but possessed limited upside.
Surprise. The evaluations were correct. |

If Graham, Iupati and Cody are all on the board at 2a, who would you guys take?
Im taking Graham and trying like hell to package Atls 2b and other picks to move up to take either of the others. |

I would probably take Graham. But, I would like to see how he does at his pro day standing up instead of from a three point stance. Admittedly, I did not see him play much at Michigan this year(some in the ND and OSU games).

In a perfect world, Berry would slip to us (barring shoulder concerns) then Graham falls to our 2a... and Washington (TCU) falls to our 3. Alot invested in the D, but all would contribute immediately.
(I'd take someone like Maurkice Pouncey with the 2b.. or best WR available) |
