Expectations for Fisher

That is mind boggling stupid.

Nobody in the top 10 fits that bill. Except Geno Smith, who fell a full round and maybe Dee Milliner. The Chiefs had no good options. This was a fine bad option. At the very least, you can grab a decent 2014 pick out of Albert and save $5-6M a year.

I don't give a rat's ass if Dee Millner is the only guy that fits that bill.

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.
