From what I've read...this isn't a very good draft for pass rushers. So to take one with the #3 pick would be bad value. Maybe the Chiefs could trade down, but it's doubtful unless another team really wants to move into the 3 spot. The Chiefs drafted Albert last year and used him as a Left Tackle IIRC and he played well towards the end of the year when he was healthy.

I'm no NFL expert but I don't know if Right Tackles are as highly valued as left tackles for a right handed throwing QB since the left tackle protects the blind side. At least the Chiefs needs are numerous enough that they can draft pretty much any position and claim it was a pressing need to get an upgrade at that position.
