****Official "I hate Luke Joeckel as a prospect" thread****
The dude is soft and weak. He gets whipped by speed and bull rushers alike. He doesn't play through the whistle. What is there to like about this dude? Am I missing something?

Hooray for creating a hole and using our #1 overall pick to fill it...
|
IN I don't like him
|
**** the weak-assed little overrated ****-lipper.

I don't like him either.

I OFFICIALLY did not start this one... ;-)

He's also a rapist

He gets whipped by speed rushers?
On what planet? |
Watch the Florida game, man. Despite the fact that A&M's offense is all about getting the ball out quickly and using roll-outs to keep Manziel out of the pocket, Joeckel struggled mightily. And not just on one or two plays.
|
Having Alex Smith and Luke Joeckel on the same team would be like having two Matt Cassels.
I'd rage so much my brain would just burn out. They'd find me dead, my cranium nothing but a smoking husk, still scalding to the touch. |
By the way, let's just be clear about where this is headed.
The prospect of letting Albert walk and using the #1 overall on a tackle is so infuriating, we've misdirected that hostility to irrationally hate on what is, in all reality, a damn fine tackle prospect in Luke Joeckel. Somebody, probably me, will rebut the notion that he's "garbage" and point out his redeeming qualities. That person, probably me, will immediately be branded a Joeckel apologist who worships the magical ether that must surround Joeckel -- after all, why else would someone stand up for him? And this thread will continue down that path until it eventually slides off the front page and out of our collective consciousness. |
Eric Fisher and Lane Johnson are much more appealing prospects to me than Joeckel. At least they have real upside.
|
I like him. Not an upgrade over Albert though.

I'm watching this Florida game on youtube right now and Joeckel has been beaten like a drum.

He's fine. He's not damn fine though. He's a first round tackle prospect. He'd go in the top 10 picks in most draft years. I'd grade him as a slight upgrade over Tyron Smith, the #1 tackle taken in 2011. He's NOT Joe Thomas or Orlando Pace. He's not Matt Kalil. He's not even ****ing Eric Fisher. There will always be more Luke Joeckels. He's not special at all. |

I would agree he's not Joe Thomas or Orlando Pace. I would say he's Matt Kalil. I see little functional difference. Both are finesse, both are battle tested, both are tacticians who play light and don't punish defenders. |

He should look meaner! Omg!

Honestly I havnt even studied him because the chiefs shouldn't even be interested in a left tackle.
|
Have you watched that Florida youtube D? #34 beats Joeckel for pressures on like four occasions. That's not even hyperbole. I will admit my OP was hyperbole, but you have to fuel these threads somehow. Joeckel is not even the best tackle prospect in this class, let alone a special prospect. Why are we even still discussing him at 1.1?

Look, I don't even want Joeckel. But to say he sucks and doesn't deserve to be ranked high is ridiculous. You know who I really like out of A&M is that freshman receiver Mike Evans. That's a baller right there. |
If we are gonna take a tackle I want Fisher. This guy is a beast my god.
Only knock on him is that he didnt play against tougher competition. |
AND IF YOU ARE AN AGGIE OR AGGIE FAN, **** YOU TOO. I HOPE YOU GET RAPED REPEATEDLY IN A VERY VIOLENT FASHION.

While there's nothing wrong with being a basher of a prospect on his own merits, or a lover of another player, the problem I have is that, this offseason, the hatred for one player is inextricably connected to the love for another. And that's bullshit, because it's as naked as double standards get. Joeckel is a really good prospect, but he's got warts. We know them well, we've debated them. But so does ****ing Geno Smith. And to coopt your verbage, you're more than willing to shit all over an imperfect but great prospect to go balls deep into another imperfect but great prospect. Given the choice between the two, I'd take Geno 10 times out of 10. But that alone doesn't make Joeckel an inadequate prospect. |

I've never said that Joeckel is an inadequate prospect. He is however, not a top 5 LT in the NFL. I don't think he's a top 10 LT in the NFL. He's above average and is only at the top if this class because it's "weak". He's on the same line as Fisher and Johnson. He's not great and he's not the next great LT. |
Geno > Fisher > Johnson > Joeckel
|
Luke can use the force elsewhere.

Would be one of the worst selections in Chiefs draft history.

I don't hate Joeckel as a prospect. He's a technician type guy that lacks some strength, pop, and nastiness. Therefore Id much rather have Eric Fisher, a big nasty fugger. Joeckel is not a guy I would even consider with the #1 pick.
|
His twin bullrushed right past him and out of the womb.
|
Albert plus whoever we take number 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jekyll plus whoever we'd take with the 2nd we got for Albert.

Oh and Matt Miller is full of so much shit with his " Best LT ever graded" BS.
|
I dont hate him as a prospect. Hes a mighty good one. I just dont want him on my team.
|
In f joke el
|
We couldn't take Geno because he's no Luck or Peyton, so we can't take Jekyll because he sure the **** isn't Pace or Ogden.

He's the next Tony Mandarich.
|
So, a 2-14 team that had damn good tackle play last year is going to release one, trade the other for a 2nd, and piss away the first overall pick on the position instead of getting a guy at a position that was the biggest need. Just great.

He's not a Top 5 LT. He's never been within a stone's throw of being All Pro. That's what Joeckel projects to be. He's not going to be an All Pro, but he'll consistently be the #7 or #8 best LT in the league. You'd take Branden Albert at #1 overall this year, knowing what you know now. I'd be willing to take Joeckel for the same reason. I just wouldn't be very happy about it. |

He said we have no interest in Sean Smith. He put the Broncos as the favorites to sign dumervil. Yea right. |
We get a third and a sixth round compensatory draft picks.

Hate him as a prospect? No.
Not convinced he's even the best LT, and hate him as KC's selection. |
