That was the reason he was such a safe pick (according to some). It's a little upsetting that he's not having a very good camp up to this point, but with all that said, it's camp.
If he has a bad preseason, then we can start getting worried.

Agree that its just camp. Disagree that we should expect Fisher to come in and play at a Pro Bowl level because he was the #1 pick. I completely disagree with your point of the "safe pick.". Anyone that was anyone knew he would need some time adjusting to the NFL level from Central Michigan. He never came close to playing against a Hali or Houston during his entire career in college.
It's going to take some time for him to adjust. Joeckel was the safer pick in my book by far because of the level of competition he faced...Fisher was the more athletic, nastier player that played against sub-par competition.
