Kid is huge and looked very good out there

Is he a fit - especially in pass protection.

Just read this - VERY highly drafted Fisher seems to be a flop.

Who do you all think the best prospects will be from picks 11-20??

I think he'll end up a top ten pick, possibly top five.

I'd take him. Maybe they'd be open to a trade. Vernon for Fisher straight up?

Maybe Vance for Fisher

Vance probably has as much trade value as Vernon does. 2 years left on his contract versus 1. And his salary is about 5 million cheaper than Vernon's.

He's been a flop since he was drafted, just has not performed at close to the level that you would expect from an early pick.

I doubt it.

Okay, so Tunsil or Stanley in the 1st? Either guy is a fit for a zone blocking scheme as well at tackle.

Yes please! My sleeper pick and fast riser is Jason Spriggs. He was a large part of IU's successful run game. If he blows up the combine he could move into the 2nd round or even the first (his coach tweeted that at 6'7" 305lbs he ran a 4.85 40, had a 37" vert and had 33 reps at 225).

This. Spriggs and Joe Haeg would be in my second tier group of tackles.

I don't know too much about Haeg, I'll have to look him up.

Spriggs reminds me of Staley in college. Former TE, very athletic, thought of as a better pass protector who needs to gain strength to make it in the NFL

I seem to recall that there were 2 College OT prospects that were viewed as 1a and 1b in 2013.

Fisher was viewed as having more "upside" and Luke Joeckel was viewed as more NFL ready, but with a lower ceiling.

Neither has lived up to their potential so far. It's a gamble in the draft.

I was never a fan of Fisher, they tried WAY too hard to push him as Staley 2.0


The guy was a mid to late 1st rounder and then went nuts in offseason workouts. Im always wary of guys who see a huge rise as a result of their performance in shorts.
