A lot of what's gone on with Albert (eg trade rumors) could just be negotiating via the media.
Oh I think they're trying to or tried to trade Albert. But I also think they like him quit a bit. If they didnt they wouldn't have tried to trade him or would have taken whatever trade offer they'd have got to get rid of that salary [Reply]

Didn't he talk about him during the league meetings? I think I remember some commentary about how he didn't play guys out of position and that he thought albert was a championship-caliber LT. [Reply]
I'm going to let the actions of April 25th dissolve this Geno issue.
For as many people on the board who rip people for rationalizing Alex Smith, there are some damn good rationalizers for a QB that's not looked upon very well in a weak class.

That's all I've got to say about that.
So if the unimaginable happen and they pick him, you'll be pissed? [Reply]

He said Albert was a Pro bowl caliber LT and Dorsey said Albert is the Future LT of this team for years to come. [Reply]

We don't know that...in fact, they have said many times that they want Albert here long term.
At first, there was a rumor stating they wanted a 2 for him...then, it changed to a 2 and another pick...then, it was us wanting 2 second rounders for him.
It's ENTIRELY possible that they want keep Albert, but want to sign him after the draft so they can use trade conversations to gauge interest in an OT for draft value reasons.
Andy Reid brought up the McNabb situation as a rebuttal for us not targeting Geno...John Dorsey brought up the Aaron Rodgers situation...then, they raved about how they love his pro day tape and decide to bring him to KC for 2 days.
I still think Joeckel is gonna be the pick, but I also don't think Geno is out of the conversation yet. [Reply]

Example. Would Thomas make Cassell better or would Geno make Albert beter.
I agree. I was just using Thomas as a Joeckel substitute and Bradford as a Geno sub. Since both of them can respectfully be considered the "ceiling" for arguments sake on each prospect, which player would benefit this team more? A top LT(Thomas/Joeckel/Fisher) or a good QB(Bradford/Geno)? [Reply]

QB without a doubt. Qbs have a impact on the team. A LT not so much. [Reply]
