The Chiefs moved up to select G/T Branden Albert with the 2nd pick in the first round (#15 overall).
Albert (6′6″, 309) earned All-American third-team and All-ACC first-team accolades in 2007. During his final two seasons, Albert registered 94 knockdowns, coming up with key blocks on 21 touchdown drives…Graded 83.23% for blocking consistency over his last 25 games, as he allowed 6.5 quarterback sacks, but no pressures on 773 pass plays.
Great pick!!!!!!

Albert is a Guard/tackle???? not a DE and and Dorsey is a DT…
Like I said… awsome draft so far…

has anyone seen a trend in this years offseason? most of the players being picked up are huge!!! just look at some pictures of these players (D.Williams, O.Hoyte, G.Dorsey, B.Albert, & B.Flowers)
i mean seriously, if i didnt know they were football players i would think they were ex-cons, lol. hopefully this translates to the field next year and he chiefs become a nasty smash-mouth football team

If you don’t understand maybe I can help. You take a disgruntled soon to be over-paid (JA) player and turn him into 3 draft picks. Then you have a hole to fill on the line what better player to take than the best player in the draft GD. Then take the pick and draft the player you would have if GD wasn’t there at 15.

Clearly their best move in the entire draft (moving up 2 spots from 17 to 15 to get Albert). I’m unsure if it completely salvages the value lost by trading Jared Allen, but that was a good move. Well done Chiefs.
