Maybe slightly at best. He's been romanticized by a segment of Jaguar fans since he was traded away. He has been a bust in Baltimore. He's been oft injured. And when he has played, he has not been good.

"Slightly at best" is correct. I liked Monroe and thought he was solid but IMO he never reached the potential I thought he had. In his last season here in Jax he still would still get beat by the same pass rush moves as he did as a rookie. The frequency in which he got beat was much less but the fact that he hadn't elevated his game to the level of rarely getting beat by the same moves was troubling. I liked Monroe but had no problems with Caldwell trading him away for picks.

 

Joeckel has slowly corrected some of his issues from last season. My hope is that he slowly continues to improve his weaknesses over time and shapes himself into a quality LT. I don't have expectations of an All-Pro LT but if he is somebody who is just rock solid and is a guy the team doesn't have to worry about going forward he will be alright in my eyes. I don't hold his draft position against him, I just want him to continue his improvement and help the team
