2. Yes it is comparing Apple to oranges. The huge difference is that one has been sold at the market. The other is a new product that has yet been test but put on the market. There is no way anyone can for a fact say Geno is better or worse than Alex. They can only say I don't think it is worth the risk given certain tangibles the scouts see in them.
3. The Dolphins have not given Albert and Physical, They have not offered Albert a boat load of money but have been given permission to talk money. The Chiefs have basically agreed to compensation for Albert but have not agreed to trade him yet. It is possible that after a second evaluation, realizes he is asking to much and may come down on his contrat numbers. They may agree to terms, but would be very shocking seeing how he is looking for Long's contract that Miami already passed on and Long is a better LT.
4. We do need a LT. Maybe not a starter, but we have no back up after Albert. We may very well need a starter. As stated above, Albert is asking to much to consider him for the futre of this team unless he comes down from his demands. What if trading Albert allows us to tie up a younger possibly worse, or possibly better LT for at least 5 years, and then draft a another position among 20 positions that I think is a bit much seeing all the depth we signed this year. What if we ended up getting a start Guard or Center with the compensation for Albert. Our average offensive line just better and younger and will be around for a couple of years together. What if we trade Albert and there sitting at 2nd round pick is one of the Qb's that could be the next star.
5. What if next year there are no tackles available when we pick and we lose Albert to Free agency. What if a player like Aaron Murray is sitting there for us next year instead of tackle.
Right now we don't need a QB. Why waste our first on a position that will clearly sit on the bench for at least a year or two when there are 20 other postions needing to be filled.
