Re: Brandon Albert
Well, lets pretend for a second that the opinion stated in the report is as true as an opinion can be. The thing that worries me about Albert is he doesn't have lots of raw power like a Chilo Rachel. However the part that gives me hope is the guy reportedly has a mean streak, which makes me believe that Bugel is more then capable of teaching the guy technique when it comes to run blocking.

that said, guards just dont go before ~28 in the draft unless they're really good. i mean, the best guard in the game sat on the draft board till 17, and he was constantly making blocks 20 yards downfield in college. If you're going conservative, OL/S in the first 2 rounds are clearly the safest bets. |

Re: Brandon Albert
DGreene, I'd love to watch some Rachal and Scheuning highlights (I like them both for rounds 2-4). I'll email you and see if we can find sometime next week to get together.

Re: Brandon Albert
Ellis was on Kiper's big board early in the offseason, now I don't know what he's projected as, but I'd bet 3rd round at the latest. He had a good combine. I don't know if Ellis is built to play 4-3 end, he might be more appealing as an olb to 3-4 teams.

Re: Brandon Albert
Albert has the raw tools to play tackle so if a team will draft him high it will be to do just that with the backup plan being guard.

Re: Brandon Albert
Guys forget this thread. Albert is now a top 5 pick according to Mel Kiper . (Don't worry Smootsmack someone will catch on.)

He had Albert and Talib going in the 21-25 range just last week. Now out of the blue he has them at 5 and 7 respectively.

He also has Malcolm Kelly going from the number 1 receiver in the draft to not even a 1st rounder anymore. ??? He said Brandon Albert has convinced scouts he will be a great tackle, not a guard, so apparently he is intending on switching positions. So Kiper thinks the Chiefs will use the 5th overall pick on a college guard transitioning to NFL tackle??? I don't know about Kiper...

Re: Brandon Albert
Apparently Kiper isn't the only one anymore.
Found this on a comment in JLC's blog and I doubt that it's to far off, though I'll have to see for myself "If Branden Albert is still there at #21, we grab him! He is getting rave reviews on every sports show I watch (and there are many). However, he will not be there...in fact, both Mike Mayock and Charles Davis (NFL Network) have now moved him up to their Top 5 picks!" Man, and to think, at one point people here thought I was dumb for wanting to take him at 21.

Re: Brandon Albert
I didn't think you were dumb. I am disappointed people have figured out how good he is. We have to remember that getting a stud at 21 is near impossible. We'll need to get lucky.

However right now I'm on the trade down bandwagon, and I'm starting to think that if Merling falls through we would be able to pick up an extra second round pick as well as Jacksonville's 1st which would justify the Redskins selecting Campbell with their first pick, since many feel now that taking him at 21 is to early. And as much as I love Merling, the front office might feel like they can do more damage with an extra second round pick.

Re: Brandon Albert
Apparently Branden Albert is really making headways these days, to the point where people are posting actual film (not highlights) of the guy. With that said I've only watched the first few minutes and the guy is a monster when it comes to turning the corner on pulls and traps. However he seems to be standing around after to many plays instead of hitting someone. Anyway I'll have to finish watching but this is great, rarely do I get the chance to evaluate footage like this on a prospect
