Chiefs LT(position) - Page 3

RustShack · 03-10-2009, 10:39 PM

The word around Kansas City is the Chiefs could be open to moving Branden Albert, the No. 15 overall pick last year, to right tackle. The Chiefs could conceivably use the No. 3 draft pick on a left tackle. Yet, the availability of Pace could be tempting to Kansas City.

Pace would fit in Oakland and Kansas City - AFC West - ESPN

Why would you want to fix somehting that wasn't broken? He was a bright spot on the wall of shit someone mislabled the offensive line...

THAT is the issue at hand.

Here's the other problem.

Drafting Monroe or Smith and moving Albert to RT or guard effectively makes that pick one used to fill the need at RT or guard.

****ing stupid.

Yep. We have a LT. So we would be using the #3 pick to fill the RT/RG spot.

I Know. You just said that.

That issue isn't at hand until 2013.

ESPN enough said... heavy on the "E"

Bullsh*t, I can't believe they would take a guy who in his rookie season stood out at one of the toughest positions on the field and move him to take a "true LT".

Albert is a great LT, why mess with it?

It's something to be worried about right now that way you don't put yourself in a shitty situation..

And Orlando Pace can't even play 5 games anymore without going on IR.

maybe next year for KC.
Agree we don't wanna get "Roafed". Pace has been hanging by thread for along time in STL.

Worrying about a contract that ends in 2013 when you are taking over a team that has 6 wins in 2 years? That's probably concern # 7,432 on their list of things to address.

Mecca · 03-11-2009, 08:41 AM

Every team in the league has a chart of how much money they can and are willing to allocate to each position...if you think any of them say OT 150 million dollars, you're smoking some serious drugs.

And yes they should be worried about it because the kind of money Albert will expect to get when that contract is up will put the Chiefs in the spot where they either have to pay him like they have 2 LT's or let him walk away.

bdeg · 03-11-2009, 08:43 AM

Definitely a smokescreen, trying to raise the OT's value for a trade scenario.

Tying up money in a top 5 and top 3 DT is a good situation?

htismaqe · 03-11-2009, 08:57 AM

It's a smokescreen. They're trying to generate interest to fuel more potential trade scenarios.

If we switch to a 3-4, Dorsey could very easily end up on the chopping block.

There's zero scenarios where Albert is.
