Joeckel vs. Fisher - Page 2

ChiefRocka · 03-02-2013, 07:14 AM

Assuming we go LT to free up that cap space. In my humble opinion Joeckel anchors better but loses leverage in pass pro above the waist. His feet and awareness are impressive. Fisher plays with much more upper body strength and is a true mauler in the run game. Has a much tougher demeanor and appears to try harder. Now is this because he has to in order to make up for his technical flaws and lack of superior foot speed??

Either way it's 1 and 1a between the two but right now I'm liking Joeckel if we run a true Andy Reid pass happy offense and Fisher if we play off our existing run game strength.

Very tough to compare the two. Joeckel held up very well against stout competition in the SEC while Fisher saw the likes of MAC opponents for the most part. I can't say I have an opinion one way or the other.

The other day on Path To the Draft, the talking heads there said they thought Fisher and Joeckel would be "solid pros" but not outstanding OTs. They thought Johnson had the highest ceiling but also the lowest floor. They said that Joeckel had the highest floor of all of the OT's .

I really don't want to take a "solid pro" at #1 but that may be all there is available.

The Chiefs prefer Joeckel over Fisher, according to Ian Rapoport.

Fisher it is, then.

The thing about Joeckel that rubs me the wrong way besides blocking for an extremely mobile QB is that he looks like a soft bitch. He's not built like a A grade OT, he may be a good technician but he doesn't look like a great athlete.

Exactly. Whenever I hear "technician" it is code for soft. I don't think Joeckel has a mean streak...I think he catches far too many blocks, and he's no better than average in his run blocking.

There is no way he is #1 pick in the draft material in my book.

My money is on the Chiefs selecting Fisher 1.1 and making him their RT. The truefans will boo and I will cheer.

The question is which 3-4 DE do we sign to replace Dorsey....Seymour?
