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.’’

Name some recent Super Bowl teams with an adequate LT that got the job done.

There are probably both.

Albert will not sign here to play guard. If they plan on not franchising him and want to sign him, I'm pretty sure he's not going to sign on to play if there is any chance he has to play guard.

Not only that, but he will command tackle money. If he resigns for tackle money, I don't think he has a choice on position.

Wrong!

Our O line is not overrated. With our ****ing cluster**** of qb play I'm surprised were not even higher.

Albert a top 10 tackle

Allen named to the all rookie team

Hudson a really good center if he can stay healthy

Asamoah is a bright spot on our line. By far a top 10 guard

Winston a top 15 tackle.

We don't need to waste our #1 pick with depth. We need a game changer in a qb with Geno smith. We could get depth in rounds 4-7. I swear if Dorsey picks joeckel or warmack #1 he is going to set this franchise back even more.

Hey you ****ing reerun, if it's the last ten years, a lot of those guys are probably still in the league. Some of those ****ers might be in the HOF.

I could be super wrong though.

JFC.

As was noted by SNR, Hudson was horribly inconsistent. And yes, I'd like to move Stephenson to RG. He doesn't have a tackle's feet, especially not on the left side. He'd be better suited to the more aggressive guard spot. Plus, I'm a big believer that every offensive lineman should know all 5 positions, and be ready to step in at any point. You put the 5 best you have on the field at any given time. No exceptions. I'd rather have a solid o-line and a solid running game with decent QB play than have Peyton Manning with no good OL to speak of

If you're saying he can't play guard if he's being paid tackle money, that's not right. If you're saying something else, I didn't understand it.

No, I'm saying he will play whatever they tell him to if he gets paid.

Crazy that a 2nd year LG playing Center his first year for a horrible team was inconsistent. We should probably just cut his bitch ass.

Solidify the trenches! We wouldn't have any hardware if it weren't for Will Shields.
