Joeckel/Fisher would fill a need created by the trade of Albert. Let's face it: The promise of Albert's rookie season went unfullfilled his subsequent four seasons.
Haley made him lose weight, which caused him to lose confidence. His 2009 was shaky at best and while he played better in 2010, he wasn't a Pro Bowler, let alone All-Pro.
He's a guy that's slightly above average. He's probably closer to John Tait than John Alt and he's no where near "Elite". At nearly 29 years of age and a new regime, I'm fine with him moving on.

They would fill a need created by the trade of an established player who plays at a high level. A created need.
It's the very definition of one step forward and two steps back.
Would you support trading Jamaal Charles for a 2nd and then using that pick on a back?
That would also fill a created need.
