He was picked on potential - not what he'd accomplished at the college ranks...

There are many factors that would need to be considered, but the point still stands that this is a small guy that bulked up.

Knock yourself out.

I guess it's possible depending on many factors including muscle mass, natural metabolic rate, blah blah blah which that calculator doesn't take into consideration.

Regardless this is a small kid that had to work to make himself the size of an NFL OT. If Albert ate what this kid does he would weigh over 350.

I think he's struggling because he's just not quick enough playing the right side techniques. He's an LT and even though he played some RT (during HS?) doesn't mean shit when you're going against pros and you haven't played that side recently.

He's a pretty smart guy -- I expect he'll be at least serviceable come JAX.

By quick do you mean agility or smarts?...

thinking technique, then playing, not playing & reacting. plus he is learning a pretty sophisticated offensive blocking scheme all at the same time. a lot to do mentally there.

Then he's an even shittier pick than I thought.

He's a compromise of safety and potential all at a position so undervalued that the number of his kind that have been drafted #1 overall can be counted on one hand.

So he's got poor "muscle memory."

I get it.

It also explains why we drafted him...

He's like every 1st round pick (save Berry) for the last 10 years...

this hand wringing is laughable. lets pump the breaks with the bullshit speculation and hypotheticals.

Oh c'mon now. This is Chiefs Planet.

Eric Fisher was a shitty pick.

Sorry, it's true. The man is going to have to be an all-time great to make picking him at #1 overall worth it. "Safe" and "good" just doesn't ****ing cut it.

Lol this thread. If anyone is AT the practices will notice most of the time he looks 100% the part. The only time anyone reports anything is when he does make a mistake. Is he All-Pro at this second, no but that doesn't mean he looks horrible out there. He is just a rookie getting better as training camp goes. Heck Albert still gets beat during practice as well. Wouldn't expect anything but overreacting on this board.
