Yeah KC is supposed to be really hot for B. Albert and R. Clady. I've also heard talk of J. Otah. I think they will be reaching for need no matter which o-lineman they take because to me Long is the only top 10 lineman in this class. It's crazy how high Fat Albert has risen so far. At first he was early to mid second and now there's talk of top five. I can understand what teams see in him because he's a monster guard who has enough athletisism to play tackle. I think he would be a great fit at either guard or RT for us but we won't be in posistion to take him.

As far as the possible trade for Lito I'm kinda torn. A part of me say heck yeah let's get a pro bowl caliber CB just for trading down 9 spots. But my more pessimistic side says that Lito isn't worth the big bucks he is gonna command. If he's so great then how come the Eagles want to get rid of him instead of Sheldon Brown? I guess Lito is gonna be more expensive. At the end of the day I think I would be elated if we could come out of the first round with Lito Sheppard and guy like Jarod Mayo.

yea i couldnt imagine him going at 5 but if he is KCs guy and they cant find anyone to trade down with... i think they will actually find someone.. i can see Denver wanting to move up and snag Ellis.. their D line has been horrible the past couple years and they need something... i could see them definetly trying to jump everyone..

KC's DL is not much better

jtsaints · 04-15-2008, 10:09 PM

jtsaints · 04-15-2008, 10:13 PM

actual I would love to see litto traded else where and the picks end up with us. That would be perfect.

How about Balmer not at all? If we trade and get 19th I'd say Mayo as well. Because my pick Cason would be kinda useless.
