If he is, then that's the guy you draft, if you believe that Eric Fisher is Branden Albert's equal.
You don't use the #1 overall pick to ****ing stand pat.
The only way that Eric Fisher is a fine pick is if you believe he significantly upgrades the LT position.
If you believe that he doesn't then you simply pissed away the pick.
This is not a commentary on Eric Fisher, or an opinion of his potential.
This is a comment about the sheer ****ing stupidity of your post that I originally responded to.
You're a ****ing idiot.

The Chiefs aren't standing pat. They're getting 7 years younger at LT, potentially bringing in a lineman that more fits the attitude/scheme that Reid wants to run, and in the process might end up getting an extra pick and saving $5-6M which you can invest in somebody else. And with Fisher's upside, it's possible that you improved at the position.
Look, I would agree with you if there was a key skill position player in the top 10. Our choice was to find a younger replacement for Albert, draft a depth pass rusher, draft a QB one round too high, trade down and grab a crappy second rounder, or draft a non-elite CB who's had 5 surgeries. We made an average decision among a bunch of shitty scenarios.
