If you want to argue that Joekel. Has more potential, I would disagree with argument.
Second, to patteau's idea, it simply is not a sound financial decision.
Forget the fact that you'd be paying LT money to guard.
With your plan, with the rookie slotting, you would be committing 15 to 16 mil a year to just 2 line positions.
Not a sound Llotment of.

I would like to see them re -- up Albert at LT and let this existing OL come in and play a season. This would free up that #1 pick which should be used on the QB regardless what a reach it will be, this franchise needs to get in the QB sweepstakes for once in its damn life and stay in it because that is key in today's goodell happy NFL.
But, Joeckel is a better pass blocker than Albert and will always be better at this than Albert. He is quick/agressive in adjusting and keeping pass rushers in front of him, which requires quick feet and strong upper body -- Brandon Albert just does not have this, he's more or less a guy that will buy you a few moments pass protection and then he loses his guy to a move of some sort, but I think he's good enough for a quick passing scheme like Reid's WCO.
