I was not a huge fan of picking offensive tackle when we already had Monroe on the roster. And the team has holes at almost every other position.

 

I think the main reason is they didn't feel like Monroe was worth the money he would be paid, which he probably isn't. Just like what the Chiefs did in picking Fisher and letting Albert walk.

 

I am sure if you asked Caldwell to be honest, he would tell you that Joeckel has been a huge disappointment. You could say he is the weakest link on the offensive line right now. And this with two rookies and a street free agent starting along side of him.

 

Maybe Joeckel is able to turn around in his third year. But we have little reason to believe that will be the case.
