And Mike Sherman (Miamis OC) recruited Joeckel and was his HC at Texas A&M.

April 20: "Sources tell me several position coaches for the Kansas City Chiefs prefer tackle Eric Fisher over Luke Joeckel." - Tony Pauline April 18: "Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel will be the first name called next week. According to numerous league sources, the Chiefs are locked in on him, barring anything unforeseen, after also strongly considering Central Michigan left tackle Eric Fisher." - Jason La Canfora April 17: "I wouldn't be shocked if the Chiefs decided to take Eric Fisher with the #1 pick. A lot of buzz out there." - Daniel Jeremiah, NFL Network April 15: Peter King wrote that he doesn't see the Chiefs picking anyone outside of the top two tackles with the first pick. There was a rumor floating around that Dion Jordan was Kansas City's top option, but Jordan wouldn't make any sense with Tamba Hali and Justin Houston in the starting lineup. April 12: "The Dolphins have Luke Joeckel and Eric Fisher rated considerably higher than Lane Johnson. As such, the Dolphins don't appear to be all that interested in trading up for Johnson as has been speculated around the league in recent days, but are very keen to move up for either Joeckel or Fisher. In fact, according to sources the Dolphins won't rule out trading all the way up to the #1 pick to get one of those guys if that’s what it takes." - GBN Report March 29: "All signs point toward the Chiefs selecting Luke Joeckel." - Daniel Jeremiah March 25: "There are no holes on Texas A&M tackle Luke Jockel (still the odds-on favorite to go No. 1 overall)." - Peter King March 9: "After today's Pro Day at Texas A&M, scouts believe it's hard to imagine the Chiefs bypassing OT Luke Joeckel with No. 1 overall pick." - Adam Schefter Feb. 24: The Chiefs are high on Joeckel, the Texas A&M offensive tackle. - Ian Rapoport Feb. 22: Chiefs unlikely to take a quarterback first overall - Jason Cole Feb. 20: The Kansas City Star considers the Chiefs "unlikely" to use the No. 1 overall pick on a quarterback. Feb. 17: "There is no quarterback where personnel guys can definitely say, 'He's a first-round pick.' There were so many inconsistencies in the collective group. There was not one guy that stood up and said, 'I'm the guy in the position this year.'" - General manager John Dorsey Jan. 27: "We hear three teams who select at the top of round two, including the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Jets, think highly of [Ryan] Nassib." - Tony Pauline. Jan. 27: I'm hearing very quiet unsubstantiated rumors that the Chiefs may be leaning Joeckel in the first and then Tyler Wilson in the 2nd. I still think that Geno Smith is the odds on favorite, right now, at No. 1 overall but I'm hearing rumors of other possibilities. Still a long way to go to Draft Day. - Chiefs source. |

TBG posted that the draft compensation had to be agreed to for Miami to be able to talk to Alberts agent.
That part is obvious because Miami already has one franchise player and they can't have two...so unless they plan on giving up 2 first round picks for Albert, they needed to get that part done first and a deal can't be completed till the compensation and long term deal are in place. There is a thread that reports Miami is willing to meet Alberts contract demands. I'm on my phone or I'd link it for you. |

In other words, the simplest explanation is that the Chiefs are almost certainly going to take Joeckel, and we're getting flooded with bullshit days before the draft as a smokescreen.

Why are they putting up a smokescreen? If they want Joekel they got joekel.

I think, and this is just my opinion, they are putting it out there that they would draft Fisher to scare teams into making the Albert deal. Some GMs are likely thinking that if they take Joeckel, that leverage is out. If they put it out there that they would take Fisher to pair with Albert, that sends the message and keeps the demand.

I'm not sure how possible trade to Miami is a smokescreen unless you think that there are multiple teams interested the 1.1 pick and adding Miami might drive up the price.
