The most likely thing to do is trade Albert and take one of the lt's if you think they are as good or better than Albert

No you don't.

If you think that they are going to be as good as Albert, you keep Albert. He's finally come into his own and is playing good ball and just entering his prime.

You don't sign Alex Smith and try to protect him with a rookie offensive tackle if you are attempting to win now and get the fan base motivated again.

Actually that would be logic for drafting BAP. And the only people on the planet who think Geno is the BAP at #1, post on this forum.

Not if they knew the first team wasn't taking the player, but the next team might. People are talking like Geno is THE answer at QB a future all pro, almost guaranteed. What team would pass up a chance to grab him?

We'll see, I'm starting to think the Albert trade is unlikely.

[keg in kc]

I'll be energized if they draft him.

I'll be disappointed but not upset when they don't. Because that's what I've expected all along.

If they think they can upgrade the lt spot with a cheaper younger better option, they'll probably do it. It sucks but it is what it is

better? yeah. this kid is going to be, straight outta the gate, better than a five year pro. yep. that's gonna happen.

Why can't he be? Rookies can't be better than vets?

yeah. and why can't life be all rainbows and butterflies?

sure they can. in this case, it's highly unlikely. better than a LT that only allowed one sack last year? sure. there's NO ****ING WAY he'll allow a sack!

if he's really damned good and we're really damned lucky, he'll be AS GOOD after a bit of seasoning.

The whole one sack thing is a bit overblown. We were a rushing team that didn't throw it more than rush iirc. I like Albert but with the new regime, we aren't a rushing team an if they don't think Albert is good enough, it is what it is

[B14ckmon]

The problem is Geno is a question mark. Redskins gave up the farm for RG3 because he was considered a surefire franchise guy.

[O.city]

There isn't a guy in this draft that is a sure fire pick. Questions about everyone.


However, and I read this on twitter today about the Seahawks. When evaluating players teu look at what they can do, not what they can't.

Alex Smith is a franchise QB. rofl.

picking a LT is making two assumptions:

1) your new LT will be as good or better than albert from day one (otherwise, you're ruining your second assumption)

2) alex smith is a franchise qb and must be protected efficiently.

Looking at the votes, I'm surprised as some of the no votes that they won't be pissed after recent vehement arguments

Everyone knows Geno won't be drafted, so it's all for fun anyways.
