Chiefs Albert being shopped for a 2nd rounder

Why would they put the franchise tag on a guy and basically agree to pay him the average salary of the top 5 at his position and only look to get a 2nd round pick for him? If he is worth that kind of money then you keep him. If he is only worth a 2nd rounder then they are probably overpaying. If they trade Albert for only a 2 IMO they contradicting themselves.

You have to tag him before you can trade him. See Matt Cassel.

Trading a 1st round LT in his prime, only to replace him with a 1st round tackle who may or may not be as good as him, seems a waste of a first round pick. Does it not?

We may be able to trade down in the first and pick up that 2nd round pick that everyone is wiling to take for Albert anyway, right?
