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.  |
The value of a DE at #3 definitely isn't there this draft. Maybe a team will fall in love with Sanchez or Stafford and will look to move up? Although this rule isn't universal, I view the LB position as similar to the RB position - very few RBs or LBs deserve to be drafted in the top 12. Obviously there are exceptions, but unless Curry is an amazing pass rusher (which I dont think he is considered to be) he isn't going to be the contributor that a #3 overall should be.
As you said, the Chiefs have so many holes, take the best available player, regardless of position (other than QB) and start building.
