Except that some people believe that Eric Fischer is a better prospect than Joeckel.
Two once in a decade players in one draft! Then there was Khalil last season, Clady a couple before that, etc, etc....
He's not a once in a decade player. Joekel is a once every single season player. And hell, it could be that Geno Smith is a once every single season player as well - but we need one
now.
The logic just doesn't hold on the Joeckel pick once you start to really dig into it.
