There is no evidence at all that he'll be there starting soon. That's simply what some fans want, in order to justify the draft spot. But the Chiefs have went so far as to deny that they intended to replace Albert with Fisher. So far he's absolutely been a development, from training camp to the preseason games. He's been frequently dominated, even by opposing scrubs that won't be in the NFL in a matter of weeks.

If you watch week 2, he doesn't use his right arm to block anybody. He was clearly favoring an injury. He looked fine in week 3 against a good Steelers line.
I'm not here to justify him at 1.1. I don't like the pick. But I'll evaluate him on what he does at Tackle. And at Tackle, there's no red flags that his career is in trouble. And I don't think he has to be a Left Tackle for his career to be successful. Again, he'll never be worth a 1.1, but Right Tackle is becoming very important when it comes to positional value.
