Dorsey says Chiefs could draft Joeckel and re-sign Albert

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.’’

Well of course we COULD

Lol Albert at LT......Joeckel to LG.

:facepalm:

Just beam me up to April 25th. I'm going crazy.

Drafting "quality depth" with the first overall pick.

It's the Chiefs way.

That would be a disaster of epic proportions.

I'd have to watch...just so I could laugh.

Yes, let's do exactly what pioli would have done. The fans will love that.

Most of them will eat it up. Dorsey and Reid are professionals, they know what they're doing. Trust them.

Yeah, let's take someone with a chronic spinal condition just because we can.

And let's spend the pick of a generation so we can create some camp competition on the offensive line.

Let's chip in and send some Neosporin same-day air to Teicher...voice of the true fans. They truly are rejoicing.

Pretty sure this just shows everything they're saying right now, basically has little meaning.

This is ****ing insane...I certainly hope this isn't the kind of thought process Dorsey really has.

yeah ok

I'll punch baby Jack, right in his baby Johnson, if this happens.

Like I said it's just media hype

Dorsey is never going to say a single sentence that reveals his thought process. Ever. There's literally no reason to interview him ever again.
