OT Jake Fisher, Oregon -- Holy hell, is this guy fun to watch. How on earth is he not in the slam dunk first round conversation? The Combine landed him there, thanks to his superior workout (that nonetheless would have put him in the 2nd tier of last year's tackles...), but his tape, especially down the stretch against Florida State and Ohio State, should have had him there from the get-go. This is going to seem like a lazy comparison to make, but Jake Fisher is the closest we've got to 2015's Eric Fisher. He's got Fisher's outstanding athleticism, explosion out of his stance, an underrated power-athleticism combination, and excellent recovery ability. Oregon didn't pull him as much as the Chiefs would, but he's perfectly designed for it. The one problem for Dorsey is Fisher's less-than-great arm length, at just under 34" inches. Fisher's got really good form, but like most of this year's tackles, could use to get stronger to better protect himself from power rushers in the NFL, but there's no reason he couldn't perfectly handle them as well as speed rushers. I think he has Pro Bowl potential, and should Dorsey look past Fisher's less-than-great arm length, you're probably looking at him being in the conversation with T.J. Clemmings and Cedric Ogbuehi as the Chiefs' 1st round pick, should they elect to go tackle (which I suspect they will). Ogbuehi and Clemmings have considerably longer arms, so I'm thinking Fisher is an option for KC if they trade down towards the bottom of the 1st.
