A lot of people aren't very smart. Monroe was a fine left tackle who played very well for 4 and half seasons. He was traded because he was in the last year of his rookie deal and the FO had already brought in Joke and wanted more picks. He was just part of the house cleaning, other teams knew it, and we still go a decent deal for him. Maybe they were on to something with Monroe since he really started racking up the injuries once he got to Baltimore. In any case, every fan of this team ought to be ecstatic if we can get a left tackle of his caliber in this draft, it would help out the entire offense and GM15 in particular.

I hear what you are saying but do you feel that Monroe was worth a 1st round pick? If so why would the Jaguars pick Luke Joke if the position was already solidified. I guess it would be bad front office even then because if you have a 1st round OT that is performing up to standards, you don't go and pick someone in the same position, the smart thing would have been to trade back and gain more picks that way. Keep the players that we draft and are producing (which we are still not doing) instead of using them on rookie deals and try to get rid of them before we have to pay them, it wasn't working then and it still is not working. Doing that would allow us to solidify the other positions we were weak at

Overall I'm saying neither Monroe nor Luke Joke worked out and gave us the production that we got from Boselli. When we are weak at the a lot of other positions, I don't think the risk would be worth it this year
