Well, this doesn't make much sense.
Staying at 1.1 and drafting a tackle makes sense if we traded Albert.

Trading down from 1.1 and drafting BPA on value makes sense if we still have Albert.

Trading Albert away for a 2nd rounder makes sense if we had to give up our second this year for Alex Smith.

Trading a 2nd for Alex Smith makes sense if we didn't think we could land any good QBs with our 2nd rounder.

But none of these are the case. We still have Albert, we stayed at 1.1, we took a tackle, Geno Smith and Matt Barkley are still on the board, and we don't have a single second round pick.

Oh no, I've gone cross-eyed.

There are several strategies that would have made sense here, but the Chiefs have seemed to have skillfully navigated around all of them.

I... just don't get it.

So far Reid has failed us, Sean Smith is in no way spectacular and Miami is thrilled he's gone. Read their reactions. This offseason has been way overrated.
you have no clue what Reid or Dorsey were thinking going into the draft or what their long term plan to build the franchise is.

I guess the only true silver lining coming out of this.....is we'll no longer be mocked a LT.....until 4 years from now. Next year they'll mock us a 3-4 DE because Jackson will be gone.

What makes Albert hard to trade is that he has to be paid market value on top of giving up a draft pick. I think you take the 54th pick if offered.

You do realize the lack of QB's in this draft actually increases Alex Smith's value not decreases is right?

Are you seriously trying to say all these QB needy teams that didn't draft a QB in round 1 wouldn't have had the same interest we did in Alex Smith?

Have you guys all lost the ability to reason?

not necessarily

signing the tender keeps the team for yanking it late, leaving Albert Hanging
signing the tender allows the team to trade him

I'm not entirely sold on the 'you never draft a RT 1.1' conventional wisdom that's always thrown around. If he's flexible enough to play multiple positions and is a mauler with a mean streak, and your OL is crapola at present he's going to provide value. I understand the whole blindside>frontside issue, but if he's providing solid protection and busting running lanes for Charles open, I'll take it. Besides he's great insurance with his flexibility for possible injuries in season.

Probably Barkley.

Depends on the team. If we trade him to a team that hasn't designated a franchise player.....they can trade for him now and then work on a new contract later.

best way to make their trade for Alex Smith look like a good one is to give him good protection.

Albert and Fisher help do that

Not really, considering he doesn't want to play. No motivation with a 1 yr contract.
