Do you think that The Patriots, Colts, Saints, Chargers, or Eagles will have a coach suggesting to take a QB in the first round?
When you have an excellent player at a specific position, you don't recommend using your first round pick (especially that high of a first round pick) on that position.
He played extremely well in run blocking. But, as we opened up the playbook for more passing, he became exposed for being a weaker pass protector.
It's the reverse of what happened last season.
When LJ was failing through the first half of the season, Albert looked bad, because he was being asked to pass block alot. But once Charles took over, and we had a successful running game, he no longer had to protect as often. That helped mask his skills at LOT.
When you are a great run blocker, who struggles against speed rushers, in space, you are custom made for the interior of the o-line.
