Fisher will be fine, but it's possible he gets drafted to be a starting LT, gets set in at RT for a few years like Oher or Bulaga, and just never makes the switch back. And frankly, I'd be fine with that. At least that would mean we'd be keeping Albert.
Bulaga is switching to LT this year for the Packers. We'll see how he does. If his play during his rookie year was any sign for us, though, it means Fisher may need some time to struggle and figure things out. Again, usually there's nothing wrong with that, but when you draft a position like RT at 1.1, the expectations are way above the norm, even for most high-profile 1st round OTs.

Suppose Fisher struggles too much and the coaches don't think he is good enough for RT. Would they then move him inside to RG and draft another RTotf? This is worst case scenario imo as what a waist of a pick that would be for 1.1
