Would you rather be 8-0 with Alex Smith or 3-5 with Geno?

Fish wasn't even the best LT prospect - he was just the one we drafted...

Fisher has a higher ceiling but a lower floor as far as talent. Which made him the better long term prospect. Joekel has a higher floor but lower ceiling.

Albert was tagged at the time yes, but we were still trying to trade him at that time as well.

This is a huge misconception.

Joekel played much better competition and played at a high level. He was also more technical and (IIRC) a 4 year starter. A better prospect.

Fisher had a good combine and a better frame. He was raw. Didn't play much upper level competition.

It very well may be but only time will tell for sure.
