What if Fisher sucks at RT?
Who replaces him there? Stephenson, Schwartz, Allen???

I know he's a rookie, but from what I've been hearing is that he's been struggling in 1on1 drills etc. I know he's switching sides which can be a factor, esp at that high of a level expecting to do as well as you would from your strong side. But should an overall#1 pick be struggling like this, esp at an important position to where he kinda has to be thrown to the wolves early?

And if he ends up having a shitty season. Does this team invest in another tackle early in the draft again next season or go FA? That would drive this board ****in nuts LOL.

It's more about Alex Smith than Fisher. The Chiefs basically said Alex is better than Geno. If Alex plays well, everyone will forget about Geno.

This is a pretty terrific article and helps explain why a bunch of RTs got drafted so early this year. Again, I am neutral on the Eric Fisher pick. But we have to be careful about using old ways of rating positional value. Right Tackles are becoming as important as Left Tackles.

We took Fisher at 1 because he was supposedly the best player available and most here liked the pick. No backing out now with the "well, he's going to take time to learn, etc".

Thats the reason he was picked first overall in the entire draft. He was the most pro ready prospect available and the best player available in the draft.

Honestly, he needs to be AT LEAST an upper half of the league RT from day 1 and depending what they do with him next year (LT or RT) a top 5 player at his position by year 3 for that to be worth the pick.

No, he wasn't.

No one, NOT A SINGLE PERSON thought Fisher was the best LT right out of the gate.

That was Joeckel.

We picked the guy with the biggest upside...

Fisher, the first pick in the draft, has already won him over, although Fisher occasionally struggles against experienced defenders in practice. He has athletic skills similar to Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns, but what pleases Reid is Fisher's toughness. In his first training camp practice, Fisher badly injured two fingers on his right hand. He stayed in practice and tried to go against defenders mostly left-handed. Within a few days, he did some damage to his left hand. Those injuries have caused him to be a little inconsistent blocking, but Reid isn't concerned. Fisher is smart, talented and dedicated. With Branden Albert doing well at left tackle, the offensive line is looking solid.

I think a lot of his struggles are coming from playing RT instead of LT.

I don't like Mark Schlereth, but I did like his analogy he used at the SB to describe the Ravens moving OL around. He said it's like a right handed batter switching to the left side. It's just not easy to adapt to because your stance and technique is switched to the other side.

It's like Fisher was a dominant left handed hitter in college that is now batting right handed and playing against professionals.

I think he'll adapt though. The kid has supreme athleticism for his position and he's a hard worker with smarts. He was a goddamn engineering major for crying out loud. He'll get this shit down. He just needs practice.

Can't expect the guy to be a bust because he's struggling at a new position the first week of camp.

He was the first pick in the draft, there's no lowering expectations at this point.

The expectation should be that he can be a pro bowl calibre player. Agree with you there. I completely disagree that it makes it any less of a good pick just because he isn't a great player from day 1. He needs to learn to be good quickly, but I really don't care if he's disappointing in year 1 as long as he's great year 2 and beyond. It's not like we're winning a championship this year anyway.
