2013 NFL Draft: Luke Joeckel, Chiefs will meet on March 22

Hey guys, I have a neat idea. The Chiefs should draft Luke Joeckel! Has anyone thought of that?

...Oh. You have.

Well then, the Chiefs are doing their due diligence on Joeckel anyway, setting a visit with him later this month, according to Joeckel himself.

Luke Joeckel said he's meeting with the #Raiders today and has a formal meeting with the #Chiefs March 22

Drafting Joeckel appears to be one of the top options for the Chiefs right now and after the release of Eric Winston I can see why. I didn't agree with the Winston release but now that it's done and over with, Joeckel makes a lot of sense. He would essentially fill two roles: 1.) right tackle in 2013 and 2.) insurance in case Branden Albert leaves via free agency next year.

Unless, of course, the Chiefs reach a contract agreement with Albert. That would really throw our mock drafts through a loop.
