Agreed. Robert Gallery and the guy from Texas were considered can't miss OTs and ended up as guards, which the speculation of Fisher as a more physical and better run blocker vs. the talk of LJ being better in pass blocking at this point but apparently "maxxed" out his talent ceiling means he could very well never end up being "the guy" at LT in today's NFL because the winning teams and trends have shifted more and more towards a pass happy league and has been trending that way ever since they neutered defenses ability to cover receivers like back in the early to mid 90's.
Then again, people have discredited Joekyl saying he may not even be the best bookend on his team last season.
Point being- BA is a known commodity and could clearly be a good enough starter for a SB winning team. All these rookies are simply speculation, not that I have some lingering doubts that Fisher won't be able to become a very good player in the league, and there will of course be people that will only accept his value if he becomes the #1a or #1b tackle in the league just because he was taken 1.1.
Even if he's a lock top 5 guy, but Joekyl is considered slightly better some people will bitch just for the sake of bitching!
