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.
