Hmmmm....I believe I can claim some sort of front row seat on the Fisher bandwagon.

Though he clearly didn't hit my benchmarks in terms of progression. I didn't factor in his small-conference rough spots nearly enough and the injury really messed things up.

And ultimately, all draft picks are relative to their alternatives. Given the chaff available at the top of that draft, you have to see that pick as a success.

He's above average at this point. He looks really solid.

Fisher has become a solid LT, although unspectacular.

But, as many others in this thread have said, thank God we didn't draft Joke-all instead.

I think that is a pretty damn good summation. I concur! :clap:

Biggest winners

1. Chiefs GM John Dorsey

You only need to go back in time 12 months to find stories about Eric Fisher losing his left tackle job in Kansas City. Since then, he had the best year of his career (albeit, only 37th among tackles at PFF last year, with a grade of 72.5), had his fifth-year option exercised, and then signed a four-year, $63 million deal that raised plenty of eyebrows. Fisher hadn’t really shown much to justify that kind of investment, but had a near-perfect day against the Bears this week, keeping a clean sheet in pass protection and putting together the best preseason of his career to date. 2016 second-round pick Chris Jones was also a force against Chicago, notching three hurries and the best grade of the game in just 16 snaps. Suddenly, Kansas City GM John Dorsey’s recent decision-making looks very well-reasoned.
