Kiper now had us taking Albert

[royalswin100games]

"Two other notable changes from my last mock draft deal with the emergence of Virginia offensive lineman Branden Albert and Boston College QB Matt Ryan.


Albert was a guard at Virginia, but he did play two games at left tackle. His individual workouts have been phenomenal and Albert has convinced teams he can play left tackle in the NFL. I have him going No. 5 to the Chiefs, and they aren't going to draft him that high to play guard.

Wow.

[Guru]

Yeah! Because they get their first year off! What a bargain!

Hey, I never said the system was perfect. They still need to implement my maximum rookie salary.

If we are not taking the QB there is no reason to be at #5. QBs are the only ones technically worth the early round one money.

I am almost certain we will trade down if Herm doesn'twant Ryan.

...or Carl.
