If Albert was really a top-10 tackle, teams would dump a 2nd for him. The market is clearly indicating they don't think he's all that.

Outside of the first pick, the rest is mostly depth.

Hard to get excited about using the first pick of the draft on a "solid" lineman.
I'd rather take a risky QB project with great upside than a "solid" lineman. Yeah we can get a risky QB in round 2 or 3 (if we had a round 2 pick), but you can pick a solid lineman there too (like Stephenson). |

A rookie wants to " help the team"? Shocking.

Geno offers a legit shot at a great improvement, but the tackles who are widely regarded as much better football players offer only a minimal upgrade at best. Geno love is a strange thing.

Or are you still in denial about Albert being a little bitch and getting shipped out?

Bingo. The fact that a team would want to spend a 1st rounder on Lane Johnson over a 2nd for Albert, says all.

Versus a starting RT/LT. Think, Pat. It's not that hard to understand why Geno is a much sexier and (it can be argued) smarter pick |

Because it's not a position of need. LTs aren't as valuable as they once were. If you have an adequate/good starting LT (which Albert is) you don't need much more than that.

What the ****? How is an LT not as valuable? It's a passing league. The most important positions in the NFL are QB > LT > Pass Rusher > WR

Teams win Super Bowls with elite QBs while also putting pressure on the other team's elite QB. There's a pretty good article about what new concepts in quick-pass spread systems and option reads are doing to the importance of the position http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/91...-espn-magazine |
