A lot of people on board seem to express the opinion that Albert does not fit ZBS, cost too much money, not worth giving up our valuable draft picks for,etc. The salary and cap hit not withstanding, which nobody seemed too worried about with Wallace signing, Albert is still rated one of the better LTs in the league, I would have to trust that if Philbin and coaches did not feel he fit our scheme they would not be pursuing this, and reality is that we would have to give up our 1.12 pick and at least one,and more than likely 2, of our 2nd and 3rd round picks in order to move up in draft to grab Joekel, Fisher, or Johnson. KC is stuck at top of draft after franchising Albert so offer them our 2b or 3a take it or leave it and am guessing fans, including me, much more excited about coming out of 2nd round of draft with Austin, Eifert or Rhodes at 1.12, next two picks Ertz,Hunter, one of CB's or DE (depending on who we pick in 1st) and Albert new starting LT. One way we get Albert and still have 4 picks in top 3 rounds to add quality and depth and other way we add a younger and granted cheaper LT (but not necessarily better) than Albert but then only have 2 and maybe 3of these picks to fill other holes, lose our first rd pick to draft an OT again and more than likely would not be making our second selection until bottom of 2nd or top of 3rd round. Know which scenario sounds more enticing to me.
