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

It's not difficult to understand. A LT at 1.1 doesn't really make a lot of sense anymore. But it's a forgivable draft pick if they come in and play well right off the bat and go on to be studs for a decade. Blind side protection, blah blah.
A RT at 1.1 that struggles against second stringers is ****ing infuriating.
I don't really know shit about Eric Fisher as far as his projection and supposed upside at the time of the draft went. I checked out about the time I realized the Chiefs were going to be selecting a LT at #1. Whether that was Joekel or Fisher, I didn't care. To me they were both the safe pick you take to protect your newly heralded Franchise QB once you sell Albert off.
That's how it was supposed to go down.
It didn't and they shifted the dude to RT. Which sucks to think about your franchise's only #1 overall pick being used on a RT. And then he doesn't even come out and play well. ****. Just be good.
