Why does everyone keep saying we don't need a Tackle at #3? - Page 4

**jAZ** · 02-12-2009, 11:37 PM

We only have 1 sure-fire long-term answer at tackle on our roster. Ultimately we absolutely need 2 of them.

If we don't think that the QB that falls to us at #3 is worth the #3 pick and the tackle is there... why would anyone suggest that we pass him over? If he's also not worth the #3, that's one thing, but I see people saying we should pass on a tackle because we already have one.

Umm... I want to all-world tackles, please.

I do think since we have a new regime that something like drafting an OT is a possibility.

Albert's NOT a right tackle. He plays in space very well. Ideally, your right tackle should be 6'5 to 6'6 and around 325 pounds He should also be a freaking road grader. The right side is your power side and is not suited for finesse players.

Furthermore, the Chiefs would be ****ing idiots to have $75 MILLION dollars wrapped in TWO left tackles. ****ing dumb. Is this what you think of Pioli and Hunt? Two ****ing morons?

I swear, if an unbelievable kicker was sitting at the #3 overall pick, there would be a large portion of the fan base screaming for the Chiefs to draft a kicker at number 3.

Bank on it.

Our entire line could be set for the next 10 years (minus Brian Waters) and people would want to draft a LT at #3 and move Albert to LG. I don't get it.

I expect Herb Taylor to step right in when Waters is injured or retires without missing a beat.

I don't think anyone should pass a guy over solely on position. Is a QB more valuable? Heck, yeah. If the prospects are both projected to be very good, take the QB. But if the best QB projects out to be an average NFL QB and the best RT projects out to be Thor the god of thunder, I'd take the RT.

I have no idea what the Chiefs are gonna do but I'm sure if they don't do what you think they should you'll be the first to call them "****ing idiots". Now I never said I wanted to draft an OT what I said is that it may be more of an option then alot of people think if the QBs are gone. Sling all the F bombs you want though.

Thanks, I will.

If the Chiefs draft a Left Tackle with the number three overall pick, I'll go absolutely ballistic.

And I hardly doubt I'd be the only one.

Malcolm Jenkins has the realistic probability of being significantly better than any of the CB's currently on the Chiefs, you'd be pretty hard pressed to get a rookie OT to play better than Albert did last year.

So who's the best pick if it's not a QB?And remember I want a QB. My posts on this thread are about if one isn't available.

So is Jenkins worthy of the 3rd pick in your not so humble opinion?

That was specific for Dane. So you think it's Jenkins?
