Personally I preferred Joeckel if they were gonna go ahead with OT with the pick.
If not then Austin, at he'd hit ya some homeruns on the field in some part of the game. Plus we need a ****ing KR/PR like no one's business. The #1 overall pick should have immediate and important impact of the game and should almost hit the ground running with exception of QB.
Fisher is not a Jake Long. Thats not really to say Fisher can't get a lot better, but he certainly doesnt have the credentials of Long coming out college, or even Joeckel to be quite honest w/ ya. Long and Joeckel played for a couple of really big name schools, NFL factories if you will, and always played against some of the best talent in the nation, a lot of which they'll see at the next level eventually.
Fisher comes from a small school playing against lesser talent. He's a big fish in a small pond. This was a reach pick in which a coach works out with a player and says/thinks, "Man if he can handle change with this and a couple things, and get used to that, then he'll be a dominant force in the league for us." Is that really what you want from the first overall pick? I'm not sure. I hope he's able to improve and become dominant. The Albert situation has really put this team in a pickle. What if Fisher sucks? Albert won't be a Chief next season and this team is ready to win NOW. It's important that Fisher hits the ground running and can have a dominant season.
