We spent an entire offseason arguing this point and look....here we are again.

The chances of Fisher being a pro bowl calibre Tackle in year 3 are much higher than any QB in year 3. That's true fan mentaility and not one I support, but that's just fact.
Look, I want to take a chance on playmakers. Again, I'm not excited about the Fisher pick because of positional value. But I think Fisher will be an excellent Right Tackle and think it's silly to think his value is any less because he struggled early on, but became a great player in a reasonable amount of time. Even if Fisher becomes an elite Tackle, it's a terrible pick if Manuel or Geno become franchise QBs. That doesn't change regardless of how he plays early on.
