Joeckel plays as well as Jake Long. Geno plays like Sam Bradford.

Geno wins.

If Geno's taken anywhere in the top 10, we made a mistake in judgement. If he goes in the top 5, we made an enormous one, because the trade and signing today essentially killed two birds with one stone by guaranteeing that we aren't drafting him, and therein likely guaranteeing that nobody will trade with us, or, if they do, we'll be giving them a discount that would make Sam Walton blush.

That's the thing not enough people are talking about. It's not just about failing to draft Geno Smith. They absolutely killed their flexibility. They can look at all the ends and tackles and corners they want, nobody is moving up for any of them. And anybody that wants a QB just has to get to 2 now.
