re: Trade Our First Pick to the Chiefs for LT Brandon Albert?

As much as I want a legit LT or RT for brees where he doesn't have to make them look great, I just think this draft we have an opportunity to get something that can change this team around. We haven't had a mid-1st round draft pick since before the superbowl year with jenkins. That year we got some great FA pickups and an opportunistic defense. Hopefully this year is the same with some new young blood.

Yes I know, chances are 1 drafted player won't make such an impact on our horrid defense, but we did improve in certain aspects of the game through FA too. I just want to think like this, imagine if someone that was so highly touted like star, jarvis, dion, or mingo fell down to us. We could potentially have our future demarcus ware, clay matthews, aldon smith, haloti ngata, etc for the first time in a while. I'm shooting for the stars of course, but potential is what we need for a change to make this team mid-tier defense. Brees will always carry our offense, we just need to keep a 20ish defense surrendering <25points and we should probably win at least 11-12 a year
