He would be a good "solid" pick, but depth has never been something addressed in the first round, for as long as I can remember.

1st round is for holes and other things that your team immediately lacks (i.e. pass rush, cover corners, and big play-making wr). If we took Albert, we would be good for the future 2-3 years from now, but next year we'd still be missing an "impact" guy at the aforementioned positions

He's not a depth pick he would be starting next year. He is an absolute wrecking ball on the field... Never seen a guard with this many pancakes in the open field

I feel you, but if we take an O-lineman we would be short an impact player at our more dire positions.

O-line is a safe place to draft, but we need help elsewhere, bad.

Can't go thru another season waiting until the 10th game to see one of our WR catch a TD pass.

We need a DE bad too.

O Line can wait and we can still get a quality player in the 3rd round or lower.

1st round = CB, DE, DT, WR

I think last years draft showed that the right rookies can be Pro Bowlers at tough positions if given the opportunity:

RB - Adrian Petersen (Pro Bowl)
OT - Joe Thomas (Pro Bowl)
WR - Dwayne Bowe
RB - Marshawn Lynch
S - Laron Landry
CB - Antonio Cromartie
LB - Patrick Willis
CB - Aaron Ross
WR -Anthony Gonzalez
OG - Tony Ugoh

I just think we need to not draft players like Rod Gardner, Taylor Jacobs, Andre Johnson, Michael Westbrook, Tom Carter, Desmond Howard or Bobby Wilson in the first or second rounds. I think we've done well recently in the 1st with Samuels, ST, and Landry but we have been burned repeatedly with WR's that high

Yeah, who needs blocking?

We can find a receiver late just as easily as we can find a Guard late.

Well maybe we could, but history tells us that most of the elite top tier interior lineman are found in the first round, while other come from the second. By the way it took Dockery about 2 or 3 years to come on, so if we do draft an O-lineman one the second day then theres a good chance that we would have to wait a few years for him to develop. Albert will only take a year to develop since we'll have to get his strength up to par, in order to make him an elite Guard.

Besides I don't understand the disdain towards Albert. If we take him in the 1st round then theres a good chance that we could take your boy Jordy in the second or third. Look we've drafted Offensive lineman during the Gibbs era in the 5th or 6th round like you've suggested and now those guys are off the team.

Steve Hutchinson - Min - 1st Round 17th pick
Logan Mankins - NE - 1st Round 32nd Pick
Shawn Andrews - Phi - 1st Round 16th Pick
Alan Fanneca - NYJ - 1st Round 26th Pick
Leonard Davis - Dal - 1st Round 2nd Pick
Pete Kendall - Was - 1st Round 21st Overall

Eric Steinbach - Cle - 2nd Round ~1st Pick
Mike Whale - Sea - 2nd Round Supplemental
Randy Thomas - Was - 2nd Round 57th Overall

Will Shields - KC - 3rd Round
Vince Manuwai - Jax - 3rd Round 8th Pick
Derrick Dockery - Buf - 3rd Round

Stacy Andrews - Cin - 4th Round Pick 27

Benji Olsen - Ten - 5th Round

Brian Waters - KC - Undrafted
Kris Deilman - SD - Undrafted
Brandon Moore - NYJ - Undrafted

I love this, Redskin fans are slowly catching Albert fever. And it's coming on strong enough to be at maximum strength right around the end of April.

I would love it if we picked Albert. In the short run, we'd be essentially getting four picks for the price of one since Albert could be a backup at both guard and tackle positions. In the longer run, we will need a new starting RT, RG, and LG and Albert would certainly fill one of those needs.
