Quote:His trade value would not be nearly as high as his value to us as a passable LT. 

 

  This would be the way I view the situation from a Jaguars perspective at this time.  

 

   Unless the Jags can upgrade at LT in Free Agency,  which will be difficult,   having Joeckel on the roster during the draft gives Dave Caldwell more draft flexibility.    Even if the Jags draft a LT prospect in the first 2 rounds,  having Joeckel around in 2016 make sense from the standpoint of the rookie LT needing to earn his way into the starting lineup instead of having the job handed to him.
