Horrible pick, there's no way to spin out of it.

I seem to recall I was making this argument to all the dumbasses who were on Poe's case last year because he wasn't NFL ready. Like Poe, Fisher came from a small school. He had to make that giant leap to the NFL, let alone at a new position. Due to new CBA rules, he had a shortened offseason and missed a lot of quality reps because he was hurt.
This year, he has a full offseason to learn. He will benefit from a full strength program which he badly needs. He will hopefully be 100% for the first time in his NFL career. He will hopefully return to his natural position at Left Tackle which he is much better suited to play than Right Tackle. And he will be a year smarter and more experienced.
I don't believe in just giving him the starting job. But we haven't come close to seeing what he's capable of.
