I see a whole lot of people convincing themselves that brandon albert would be a great pick. the same brandon albert that has shot up the draft boards because people THINK he would be a good LT. ok.. i can live with that.. i personally wouldnt want a guy that could maybe be a good LT but hasnt showing it much yet. that aside..
say we draft Albert.. where does he go.. well the only spot he could go is RG. Albert is not a center.
so we put him at center and replace one of the two guys that we have groomed to be a good starter on our line (peters being the other).
so then we still have a gaping hole at center... which happens to be the only position we really need to address at all. and you can get an upgrade at center in the 3rd round.
if you guys think that brad butler, who tried center for a short time in minicamps and didnt stick, is going to take over and be an upgrade over fowler, your kidding yourself. he has never played it. he was a right tackle, and has already changed to RG and is just getting set in there.. you want to move him again? i dont see it. doesnt make any sense.
i can understand the desire to have a great prospect who could be a good LT in the wings.. i get that we are one injury away from kirk chamber being a starter at the tackle spot... but we have no STARTERS at other positions that we have to fill first.
i like the idea of drafting albert i guess.. but it is a luxury that a team like ours can not afford right now.. just say no to albert.
