Default Pats safest pick at 7 is Brandon Albert (merged)

The more I see the draft developing the more I see the pats looking for a SOLID,VERSITILE lineman that can eventually play LT. He plays against C.Long in practice and gives him fits. The phins get their superman(C.Long)and we pick up some kryptonite! Gholston will have to learn a new position. Its too high to pick a CB. We dont know how badly Neal is hurt. Hochstien DEFINATELY needs replacing. He can likely be had if we can swap back a few spots(11-15), but if we are STUCK with 7 I think you take the surest bet. Of all the OL guys he definately looks like he is in the best shape. Would of started at LT as a freshman but DBrick was there! I think a very realistic pick for the PATS.
OK, what do you think?

Nice player, but there are about at least a dozen other players I'd draft ahead of him.

Why should the Jets be the only team in the division with an outrageously overpriced guard.

Albert is interesting but not overly safe. The only way he's worth #7 overall is as a Tackle and while he has the athletic ability to play that position, he's obviously not safe with that move. As a Guard he's pretty good but not #7 good, he's no Steve Hutchinson, he's not as physical or tough as Logan Mankins. Albert has upside but I don't associate him with a safe pick.

Albert is great at his position, but Ray Guy wasn't drafted in the top 10 either.

Remember, I said SAFEST, not best. There hasnt been a scout that would say he couldnt play T, and as a flexible player with LT potential he would be a safer pick than Clady, Harvey, DRC or some of the other threads we have all read. SAFER I think.

I'd rather draft Eugene Chung... *rolls eyes* Albert at #20 after a significant trade down, I could see. At #7, NO.

I dont think you need a big trade down to warrant his selection. If you could move down 3 or 4 picks for say a teams 2nd rounder in the mid forties, I would do it. I 'll agree not at seven but if you can get that high second rounder youre lookin at being in the hunt for a cb at the top of round 2 . IMO not one cb in particular has a distinguishing characteristic it's sort beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we don't want to wait till the end of rnd 2 to get one of the top corners cuz they wont be there.....

I don't want an OL in first round.
