In 2013 everyone and I mean EVERYONE said Joeckel was the safe, lock it up, 10 year starter pick too. The Chiefs were heavily panned for skipping over him. Sometimes everyone is just wrong.

You can't say EVERYONE. That was a pick that I did get right. I hated Joeckel. When the pick was made, I was so mad, I threw my ottoman into the kitchen and nearly took out the picture window. Thank God, I didn't. I've learned to calm down since then, but I knew he was gonna suck. He was a typical Texas A&M OT, that was all finesse, who lacked functional strength and got terrorized by bull rushers. I wasn't the only one who thought this way either. There were others.
