Quote:No, because Caldwell drafting Joekel is what made him no longer a fit and doing that in his contract year created the situation that only enabled us to get pennies on the dollar for him.

 

Rookie mistake by Caldwell by redundant drafting that negated his ability to recoup proper value for our most valuable asset. Monroe was happy here until Caldwell showed him the door when he drafted Joekel.

 

Like I said, rookie mistake. Hopefully Joekel will turn out to be at least as good as Monroe and Caldwell will make some good picks that will balance out what basically amounted to a swap of the number two overall pick for a 4th and a 5th do to the opportunity cost of passing up on a DE and not keeping Monroe.

LOL. Trying to shore up an O line that was a revolving door the previous year is a rookie mistake? 

 

Redundant drafting?  No longer a fit?  I don't recall seeing Joekel lined up on the left side.

 

How do you know Monroe was so happy here?  Did he tell you so personally?  Maybe he wanted to leave anyway for all those reason you mentioned earlier.
