The reason we had some success is we went to the no huddle & kept them off guard.
I agree, DE & CB are big needs, but our O line hasn't had any real depth for a no. of years. Albert seems a better prospect than most of the guys that are likely to be there for us at #21. If we were talking about picking in the top 10 I wouldn't argue that he's worth taking, cause then we'd be able to land one of the top DEs. i.e. Albert might be the "best player available" when we pick.

The only way I would draft Brandon Albert is if I was sure that Jordy Nelson would drop to us in the third round, if not I'm not sure I'd be happy using a second on him, or maybe we could trade down from our second and get some picks and get him a little later.
