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.’’

Players from FA ain't what they used to be either. The new rookie scale only changes the top 10 or so players. The Eagles' Dream Team was a disaster.

Personally I would hope that we could trade down to last part of the top 10 and draft DL Sheldon Richardson. Sign Chris Canty and have Canty/Poe/Richardson on the front line. If TJax is willing to take a massive pay cut then do it. If not then cya later.

Kolb looked good in Philly. Who knows how he would have looked had he stayed.

Kolb didn't look good in Philly. At best, he looked adequate.

Here's a something new that needed to be expressed on this forum.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 02-24-2013, 10:32 AM

yeah, lets instead express the most dumbassed hypothetical of all where we draft a tackle and move albert to guard. I swear to god, some of you mother****ers lick asbestos for a living and drink sternol at lunch time. Please stop with this useless shit.

Branden Albert is a free agent. So was Eric Winston. Most people want to go into next season with two guys who were FA's as our offensive tackles.

80 percent of Chiefs fans eat leftovers for dinner every damn night and just keep going back for more with a smile on their faces.

Albert will move to guard if we draft Joeckel. That's going to piss off a lot of the armchair GM's here at Chiefsplanet, but that's what will happen. Either that or Joeckel will play guard which would piss off even more CP armchair GM's. 1 of the 2 will happen if Albert is resigned and Joeckel is drafted at 1-1.

1. OT Joeckel
2. QB Barkley/Bray/Wilson
3. QB Nick Foles trade
3. CB David Amerson

Rounds 4-7 I'd go in this order:
4. RB Lattimore or OLB Jones (if he's drops to this spot)
5. ILB Klein
6. CB Mathieu

BUT....if this spinal thing is going to have Jones drop really far and even into the 2nd day I think you absolutely take that gamble in the 4th rd instead of Lattimore.

And I also think we go for another QB next season as well.

Awesome! We're drafting Geno now!

"CB/S/WR/LB position from FA" These make me nervous. Of course there is a new sheriff in town but his last dip in FA was not so nice.

Oh, OK. So FA tackles are OK, but you can't find a FA worth a darn at CB/S/WR/LB. Got it.

Dwayne Bowe is a free agent. A lot of people want the Chiefs to resign him. Are you ready to let him go?

It is about you suggesting an LT at #1, Patt. That I really don't care for. EVerything from us then forward is less relevant.

You must have me confused with someone else.
