ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
Former tight end who moves easily and naturally. Good initial quickness to reach cross-face blocks. Finisher in zone game. Can sustain blocks with proper hip roll and balance through contact. Keeps base wide and uses choppy, controlled steps in pass sets. Mirrors well and has feet to shut down stunts inside. Well-timed and effortless transition from initial block to second-level assignment. Adjusts with good change of direction. Fights back with resolution after losing a rep to defender. Understands how to create leverage advantages with angles and footwork.

WEAKNESSES
One of the most penalized tackles in 2015 draft class over last two seasons, including six holding calls during 2014 season. Needs angles to get consistent push in run game. Lacks power. Allows outside hand to get wide in pass pro, opening himself up to bull rush. Catches pass rusher rather than punching. Not much pop in his hands. Inconsistent feet as a run blocker, slowing feet at contact against power. Missed part of 2014 with a leg injury. Needs weight-room work to add more bulk to his frame. Needs to improve his contact balance against power.

BOTTOM LINE
If you are a zone-based team looking for an athletic, well-schooled tackle who can come in and compete for a starting position right away, then Fisher is your guy. He has the feet to play the left side and is savvy enough in the run game to man the right side. He needs more weight on his frame, but guard is also an option for Fisher.

i love this kids game. remember who he was blocking for too and that system. Afriend on the west coasted pointed out over 50% of those holds were on scrambles. that and a bulk of the holds were not his assignment. When he went down for a few games that duck OL was serving up sacks like there was no tomorrow.

in no way do i believe he is an OT that should go in the first. second sure. third round he was a steal. but everyone now see the huge drop off after the top 2 OT come of the board. Potential and hype have nothing to do with fisher really. he needs some work but he is light years ahead of Clemmings and Flower. closest OT to him is Peat IMO and i would still take Fisher over Peat.

you have a high floor and with coaching and weight room work you have an extremely safe pick that is a huge upgrade depth wise as soon as the pick is made. the talent is there to take over as a starter down the road in a year or two at the latest.

he is the best swing OT in the draft.
