Joeckel on the trade block?

What do you think signing Beachum is an admission of? Or signing Amukamara.

 

If Joeckel or Gratz had panned out, each would be getting an extension instead of replaced.

I am not one who goes along with the "it was a weak draft" argument, but it was his first draft and seemed like a safe pick at the time. Seems he has learned a little since then. I'm sure in hindsight, it would have been nice to draft D. Hopkins.

 

I do have to say though, for that entire draft to be complete garbage 3 years later is pretty astounding. I think a lot of that speaks to the coaching, because the simple odds are there would be at least 1 serviceable guy in there. And I know what you are thinking, but Cyprien still sucks.

I feel like he has be at least better than replacement level backup (swing) tackles.

The coaching, or they're just not very good players, because we're not having that same issue with the 14 draft.

There's a article from a Seahawks website that speculates about the Seahawks trading for Luke Joeckel:

 


Would Seahawks trade for Jaguars' Luke Joeckel?

I'm still skeptical that this "talk" is anything more than reporters trying to cook up a story. 

 

Unless the Jags are absolutely certain that his replacement will be healthy enough to assume the starting role right out of the gate, there's no incentive for them to make any sort of deal, and very little trade value beyond some late round conditional pick. 

 

I CAN see the team trading him in a similar circumstance to how they unloaded Monroe.  Let Joeckel start the season, and hope that he plays well enough to gin up his value so that when a team suddenly has a need at Tackle, the Jags can step in and offer him in trade. 


Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

This is just more idiotic drivel coming from an unlimited source. 

 

Caldwell's job depends on making the right decisions that will improve this team.  He's already shown that if they make a personnel move that doesn't pan out, he's more than willing to admit the mistake and move on.  So, to say that he won't because it would be an admission he screwed up is just ludicrous, but not unexpected considering the source.

I can see this, but if the Jaguars end up with Tunsil, all bets are off for Joeckel.

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

That's a solid group and teams were lucky if they ended up with one of those 'solid' players. That's definitely not a list that proves it was a strong draft.

I'm not expecting that to happen, although with the trade that has shuffled the top of the board, that's a possibility.

Sam Young outplayed him last year when he was out.


He's equal, if not worse.

9 out of 32 isn't a great example of a strong draft.

IF Tunsil is there will the Jags take him?  If yes in that scenario the joke is fried chicken
