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.’’

People either A) Don't understand how ****ing historically bad Cassel has been and B) How much average QB play can help your offensive line play.

So you're saying going into last year with two rookies as your only depth was good? We have to have more depth than that kewl guy.

Bro you should kill yourself.

JFC!!! Has it ever occurred to some of you that Dorsey MIGHT just be opening doors to other options on draft day? There is no Andrew Luck this year that all but guarantees to be the #1 overall pick. Therefore, John is keeping other teams guessing as to who we might take to get opportunities to trade down for more picks and yet acquire the person he wants. Unless Brandon Albert is asking for a ridiculous contract, he'll be out starter at LT next season. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Albert gets signed and kept under the table till after the draft

We could also use a Safety, CB, another RB, a TE that can stay on the field, and some DL.

I'm pretty sure just about every NFL starting QB not named Matt Cassel had a ton of success on the collegiate level.

When was that said anywhere?

I totally agree that this team needs better depth.

I guarantee you the number of successful college QBs who were garbage in the NFL, is much higher. Not many QBs get drafted without some form of college success. Some of the best college QBs in history have been mediocre or hot garbage.

He had a shitload of yards passing because he threw the ball more than most QBs ever do.

That's great.

They won because of him, and in spite of their shitty LT.

And he got hit a TON because of his shitty LT

Hootie · 02-23-2013, 06:10 PM

if in his prime Donovan McNabb was our starting QB we'd win 11 games next year at least.

in short, this team primarily needs ONE ****ING THING and talking about anything else is stupid

I don't give a shit about who are swing tackle is or are backup long snapper

The colts were not a real 2-14 team. Not even close. They made the playoffs for two big reasons, one was they weren't actively trying to tank, the other was having a somewhat competent QB.

Luck's numbers were not grey at all.
