An interesting read.
There's no player in the draft that is a sure thing. But LT seems to be a position that is fairly predictable and has a low bust rate. I'm still hoping we draft a QB, but it won't shock me if we take LT. We will know much more in a few weeks when we find out if they tag Bowe or Albert. If they tag Bowe, Albert is gone and there is high probability we draft LT. Possibly with the 1st pick, possibly the 2nd.
I am normally the first person to say Draft LT, but not this year for some reason. I understand taking the best player available but Donald Stephenson didn't do to bad last year. So even if we don't resign Albert, I just think we need to find a bigger play maker with the 1st overall. Unless Joeckel is the next Willie Roaf, and people even argue if he is the best LT. Then I want somethig sexier with this pick.
Tackles don't win superbowls, QBs do.
We don't need another LT at this point and it would be a waste of a pick to select one this year.
Now, if Albert walks, we can revisit this.
I feel if we draft Joeckel we don't really make the team much better, and it does very little to make the qb better. Obviously a better LT makes the QB better, but as of now we dont even have a qb. It does look like Alex Smith could end up coming here , but I dont know what we have to give up for him. I dont see the Niners just letting him go on a year the qb has this great a need and the supply is this low.
Alex would want much more money then Geno, or any other rookie qb.
