Also, if they don't want to take a guy at 1, trade down. We were already talking to Miami about Albert at that time and they traded up in the draft with Oakland from 12 to 3....gave up a second to move up...if they gave that much up to move up to 3, one would have to think they would give up the same to move to 1 instead of 3 being the slotted contracts are basically similar. Move down to 12 and take bpa while recouping tat second we gave up to get Alex Smith.
They basically came out and said they think Eric Fisher is the best player in the draft.
A generational talent.
I hope they Ed up being right, but the early returns aren't exactly confidence inspiring.

Fisher started game 1 and every other game until he got hurt. 1.1 picks these days start day 1 for the most part. I can't remember the last guy drafted 1.1 that didn't start. It's just how the NFL has gone.
The trade down thing is a thought I guess they could have done that. But in a very weak draft it was more difficult to do. But they could have found a way.
Fisher was god awful at the start of the season but IMO he has improved some. That's not saying a lot but at least he's improving
