Expectations and Alex Smith

If you trade Albert I don't think you trade back an run the risk of missing out on a lt. IMO, it's one or te other at this point.

This is a good year for LTs, you don't need to take one with 1.1. I think they will do both and get as many picks as possible if they get the chance. This is a golden opportunity for a new head coach. A team that already has a bunch of Pro Bowlers and a way to get a bunch of extra draft picks. This draft is not strong at the top, but is deep in the late first and second rounds.

There are 3 LTs worth a shit in this draft. If we do in fact trade Albert we have to come out if this thing with one of them or next year could get pretty ugly. Teams that didnt sign a lt in free agency like the chargers are likely looking to move up to get one.

And while it isn't a bad thing to stockpile picks, they can also be overvalued

Yes, which proves my point that we don't need to pick OT at 1.1. We can move down a few picks and still get one of the three while acquiring draft picks. You aren't thinking big picture.

And you are thinking things are black and white. If we trade down to 8 which everyone is expected, the 3 could be gone by the time we pick with the lions eagles needed LTs and a team could ten jump ahead of us to take the last one.


So what's the big picture if you trade down, trade away your lt, and miss out on one there?

Reid will probably look to keep his trading streak alive with Belichick and trade 1.8 to the Patriots for Ryan Mallett.
