A valid question. Truth be told, I'm sure he's a fine player. He wouldn't be rated as high as he is if he wasn't.
I think the anti Joeckel sentiment among this board (and my personal views also) are based on: (in no order)
- He's not a QB/Geno Smith. :P
- People think protecting the nimble Johnny football helped him look good.
- He looked slow & unathletic during the combine (particularly against all other LTs.) He tested worse than any of the previous top LT picks in year's past.
- And he looks like a 12 year old school boy (okay that one is mine)
For me personally it's just that I like Fisher better. I saw him absolutely dominate at the Senior bowl. He's bigger, stronger, faster. I'll take that.
