He emphasized again that the Chiefs need to get a QB because a QB is so much more important than LT.
And then he jumped the shark again, suggesting that Matt Cassel might be the solution at QB.

Also not sure I buy Joe Thomas completely...
As for the rest of his comments... good thing Albert wants to stay in KC and probably doesn't even require using the franchise tag.
I think he's crazy on Manziel. For one thing, Jake Matthews will slide over to LT and be just as good as Joeckel. For another, Manziel doesn't need great line play to be effective - just someone who won't get rag-dolled. And, finally, aTm recruits at an extremely high level and has excellent line talent in its pipeline.
