@AdamSchefter: Chiefs HC Andy Reid said he plans to go to camp this summer with former No. 1 overall pick Eric Fisher playing left tackle.

Sorry if Q

So the expectation really has nothing to do with him and everything to do with the year that he was drafted.

I don't care If it's the worst draft ever, if a guy taken at 1.1 would go in the 2 or 3 round a year later, it was a god awful pick

Why does that mean Dorsey sucks at talent evaluation? (maybe he does... I don't really know, but I don't think this one draft pick after one year can be an indication of anything at this point). The offensive line is one of the hardest positions to play well in football. Making the jump from college to the pros is difficult to do at the tackle position. Fischer may still be a great right tackle. Just because he didn't come out as strong as you wanted him to, doesn't mean he won't.

But if that guy taken at 1.1 in 2013, that would have gone in 2nd or 3rd round in 2014, was the best available player in 2013, is that still a god awful pick?

"Fischer?" We're not talking about chess grandmasters, are we?

I hope you realize you've caught yourself in a catch 22 here.

How have I caught myself in a catch 22?

Take the next step. Come on. You can do it.

What's a more likely explanation?

O.city · 03-26-2014, 11:25 AM

Had we taken fisher at 23, I'd agree.

But he was touted as the best player in the entire draft.

Yes... aren't we?

Isn't there a thread hanging around here from NFLN or some-such with a 2013 Re-Draft; and our boy Fisher was at 31 or 32?

Was he the best player available? Evidence isn't proving that very well

Ok... I don't know that he was or wasn't. I don't follow college football much. I do know however that it wasn't a surprise to anyone that he was drafted there and Lineman were the hot commodity in last years draft. So a good many people who do follow college football thought that he was one of the best players available - wasn't Dorsey alone.

Well... Chiefs FO doesn't have the benefit of hindsight at the time of the draft.

O.city · 03-26-2014, 11:30 AM

We now have evidence of him playing at the nfl level, against nfl level competition.

Good god.

Then they're shitty at their evaluation or the obviously messed up somewhere.
