If we took him at 22 or 28 he'd be extremely cheap in terms of actual contract size.

The only way I would want him would be if we traded down into the 2nd and got him there. Kosier is the weak link, but we definately dont need him at 22 or 28.

I just don't think we are drafting an OL in the first round. JMHO

I believe Dallas will take him at 28 if he's there... Everyone knows I predicted that.

I'm all for bringing him in and getting a good look at the guy. I'd rather not draft an O-Lineman in the 1st round, but if he's at 22 and our scouts think he's the best player available, we need to take him. Never hurt to get more information about a prospect, especially to see how Albert's skills translate to tackle. I don't know why people get so worked up over who they think the Cowboys should take. Sure I have my favorite targets, but unless Dallas makes a huge reach or completely ignores positions of needs, I'm going to trust our scouting department to make the right choices. I think they have a bit more experience than your average fan on a message board.

The kid projects to be a tackle in the pros....I don't think it would be all that bad a move to draft him if Dallas trades for PacMan and no one else on the board is any better.

Better enjoy him this upcoming season cuz he's probably not back in '09....

I just don't believe we need this position this high in the draft

The worst case scenario is that Albert is taken by the Steelers at pick 23... if he's still on the board then, you can count on him being snapped up by Pittsburgh... they reportedly want him to replace Alan Faneca...

Albert would be an excellent pick for the Skins... I wouldn't mind seeing him in a Cowboys uniform, either, let him battle Kyle Kosier for the starting LG job...

I've seen him play 10 or 12 games, living in the Shenandoah Valley they're on the tube with some regularity... to me, he's a slightly smaller, slightly more agile Justin Blalock...

I wouldn't want him to move to tackle, he has the prototypical skillset to play guard in the NFL...

That would be an extraordinary line...

I think you're probably right... and I admire that you clearly said this was your opinion...
