Dorsey says Chiefs could draft Joeckel and re-sign Albert
By ADAM TEICHER
The Kansas City Star
General manager John Dorsey said Saturday the Chiefs might select Texas A&M’s Luke Joeckel with the first pick in the draft even if they re-sign Branden Albert, their incumbent left tackle. Dorsey said the Chiefs would draft the highest-rated player they have on their board regardless of his position.

“Then you have great competition at left tackle,’’ said Dorsey, speaking at the NFL Scouting Combine, of the combination of re-signing Albert and drafting Joeckel . “Who’s to say both of those guys are locked in to playing left tackle? Maybe one plays left guard, center, right guard, right tackle. You put your best five offensive linemen out there.

“There are so many options out there right now. Anything is possible.’’

Another interesting option for the Chiefs is Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones, who had 28 sacks over the past two seasons. The Chiefs already have Pro Bowlers at outside linebacker in Tamba Hali and Justin Houston.

“They’re both pretty good players,’’ Dorsey said of the incumbents. “But who’s to say you couldn’t acquire another outside linebacker and what you could do is begin to rotate them. What you do is you make that unit better because they’re all fresher. They’re not on the field pounding all the time. That’s the thing about building quality depth. You can make your guys fresher in the fourth quarter.’’

Oh, OK. I agree completely.

This isn't ****ing Madden. You can't just take a LT and say **** it....we're moving him to guard and expect it to work.

He can play center, too, dumbass.

Bob Dole is really glad that some of you are not the GM.

Did Todd Blackledge and Trezelle Jenkins form a non-profit that is paying some of you to erase their names from the collective fan memory?

Why move him to RG. We have Asamoah who is a top 10 guard. Just ****ing unbelievable what people think about our line. It's one of the better ones in the league. With a ****ing qb like a Geno ole will make our line look even more better.

Asamoah is a bright spot on our line. By far a top 10 guard

Winston a top 15 tackle.

We don't need to waste our #1 pick with depth. We need a game changer in a qb with Geno smith. We could get depth in rounds 4-7. I swear if Dorsey picks joeckel or warmack #1 he is going to set this franchise back even more.

Statistically, our OL was 25th in the league. We had the 6th ranked running game, but were 28th in pass protection (per ColdHardFootballFacts .com). That is why our OL is overrated. We can't protect the passer. And if we can't do that, it doesn't matter if we have Tom Brady or Matt Cassel back there, we will not win games.

It was 28th BECAUSE of our shitty QB play. They can't block forever.

If we could let Albert go and do that, yeah, I'm game.

But I would hate to end up with Joeckel and Landry Jones. It would def be a risk.

I've got news for you.

The top 10 rated left tackles on PFF:

Joe Staley - SF
Duane Brown - HOU
Michael Roos - TEN
Ryan Clady - DEN
Joe Thomas - CLE
DaBrick - NYJ
Andrew Whitworth - CIN
Jared Veldheer - OAK
William Beatty - NYG
Eugene Monroe - JAX

Half of them are on losing teams.

The ones who are on winning teams: Staley, Brown, Clady, Whitworth and Beatty. Their quarterbacks are all playmakers.

I don't know about 'fine', as we need to fill holes. However, we don't need to reach at number one to create depth. Number 1 is for play makers.
