Here is the absolute minimum expectations for me for Fisher this year:
1. He must be an absolute beast of a run blocker. All of the scouting reports say he is. And if you take a RT in the top 5, he better be. This is job requirement #1 for a RT anyway: ****ing maul people.
2. He should be no worse than average as a pass blocker. Ideally, he'd be a stud, but I'm willing to accept there may be a transitional phase for a guy making a switch. Even so, at NO POINT should he be a liability in pass protection.
NFL comparison: 2004/2005 John Welbourn (who was an absolute beast at RT for us those years)
