Kelvin Beachum could turn out to be biggest steal of free agency

When Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell made offensive lineman Luke Joeckel the second pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, he was hoping the prospect out of Texas A&M would develop into a franchise left tackle capable of holding down the fort for the next decade or so.

Fast-forward to 2016 and there’s little to no optimism about Luke Joeckel and his ability to develop into an upper-echelon tackle. After his rookie season was cut short, Joeckel has improved incrementally in the last 2 years but not enough to be considered even an average left tackle.
