Albert would be a great solution for the LT, IMO, but it's not a realistic solution because of the financial implications involved.

So do you think it would be better to draft one or pick up one on the open market, it's a important position that has to be addressed? After the center from Chi-town didn't work out at all, I'm a little skeptic but DLP came in and has played well.
