Sure, our defense was atrocious, but think about what you are saying. You are right that no one drafts RT at the third overall spot. But if you draft a LT that is better than Albert, then you move Albert, not the better LT. If the Chiefs grabbed either Smith or Monroe, then move Albert to RT, we would have our bookends for the next ten years. Many teams these days have two first rounds tackles. I do not see why that is such a bad thing when you talk about protecting the QB, the most expensive player. The defense will be better than last year for one main reason. We cannot be the 32nd ranked defense again. We will get more than ten sacks and not allow 8 yard per carry. I believe that the team will be better because of the better coaching on defense. Just like you said that someone can step up at RT, why can no one step up on defense? Is Curry worth going third overall? The last time a LB went third overall was Lawrence Taylor. However, if you just want a LB to improve the defense, maybe Pioli can find an undrafted LB like the Ravens did with Bart Scott.
Agreed…We need our bookend tackles. Albert can be great but having just one great tackle won’t do justice. I think we have to protect our 14 million dollar investment and take Smith or Monroe if they’re available.
Damn it…Why can’t Joe Thomas be available at #3..j/k
