It's also funny that Jacksonville did the exact same thing as the Chiefs. You are overreacting big time.

NOBODY IS CALLING ERIC FISHER A BUST.
Don't you people have ANY STANDARDS? Expectations?
Shouldn't the first pick in the draft be able to handle one on one matchups with backup quality players without problem?
TE guy has been getting walked like a dog by almost everyone he has faced. Including Austen Lane, who is a terrible player.

He was the best left tackle prospect in the draft, the mistake if you want to argue that there was one, was not moving Albert if your gonna take fisher.
Now, the guy is hurt and learning a new position.
And if you want to scream trade back, that's fine, but if you want to argue that some of those guys are such impact players, why was there no one knocking down the door to trade up for one?

people in this threads recent history are already throwing out the "linemen take time, he is just a rookie, it's just preseason" crap.
First overall picks at low importance positions should flash the ability to DOMINATE backup quality players.
Some of you think it's ok, though because he is supposed to be a left tackle...even though we already have a good left tackle.
If Austen Lane and other backup quality players beat Fisher in 1on1s how is he supposed to be able to handle guys like Woodley, Ware, Aldon Smith, etc?
As far as the "we couldnt trade down" argument, why was Oakland able to move down?
Vaccaro
Richardson
Star
Reid
Floyd
Werner
Jones
Patterson
Trufant
Elam
While also adding a valuable second round pick...
Oh well, let's just hope they do the right thing and at least keep Albert (if he earns it) so that the pick at least solidified our tackle spots long term and we don't have to spend more pucks next year to cover for bad decisions this year.
