2. If Albert resigns, the Chiefs still aren't going to burn 1.1 on a QB, but at least you'll have more cover for picking QB. Leaving our QB with no franchise LT is just irresponsible.

Who's to say we won't pull a Pioli and sign a Stanford Routt? I know that switcheroo didn't exactly work out, but there are a ton of LTs on the market this year who might accept friendlier contracts than Albert.
I'm the GM is the point. I think drafting a tackle EVEN if Albert walks would be such a disastrous move. It would completely destroy morale, and if the guy sucks we're in the exact same position NEXT offseason. Only next year, we'll need replacements on the DL, at QB (because Alex sucks) AND we'll have a Jason Smith lemon to worry about.
Letting Albert walk is a case where you're not making the smart and safe pick. You're only inviting MORE unsafety and inconsistency to infect the team if the guy doesn't work out. A busted LT pick would be FAR more crushing and deflating than busting on a QB.
