KK was saying today: "Chiefs have a franchise first round pick Tackle (Albert) and the first pick in the draft. We're now going to trade that to Miami, and get a potential first round pick franchise tackle (Joeckle or Fisher) and the 54th pick in the draft."
I think he's basically right. We're using the first pick to plug a self made hole. We could keep Albert and just pay him.
If they trade him, that would open up about $9 million in cap money, so they might be able to go get another free agent, like an inside linebacker to replace Belcher for example.
But it's a very sad use of the very first pick in the draft. Chiefs have drafted seven tackles in the first round since John Alt, and none have lasted in KC more than five years.
