I really like what Dave Caldwell has done so far.  He's had a clear plan from day 1, a plan in which I agreed with, and he stuck to it.  However, trading Monroe for peanuts is the one thing I'm critical of him for doing.  This board thought Monroe was amazing before the trade and a bum after the trade.  Monroe is still an above average left tackle and is better than Joeckel has been to this point.

 

I liked Eric Fisher a lot more than Joeckel going into the draft, but I can't say I was disappointed with the selection.  I liked Joeckel more than Jordan and Ansah, who were the only other logical potential picks.  It's disappointing that Joeckel hasn't physically developed into an NFL body in his 2 years in the league and hasn't developed much of a punch.  I still think it was the right pick, barring a trade down,  which is almost always preferable, but seldom accomplished.
