I would concur with that assessment.
However, as I've previously stated, I feel that Don Stephenson would have been in the mix as the first tackle off the board in the 2013 Draft if he had stayed in school for his senior season. He was markedly better than Lane Johnson on the same team and has elite level measurables for the position.
He's big, with long arms and incredibly athletic. He has light, quick feet and does an excellent job in getting out into the second level. The only things he needed to do was spend a little more time in the weight room to develop additional upper body strength - which has happened this past season and some reps with the first team, which also happened.
I think Fisher has an easier time in beating out Albert for the LT spot than he does beating out Stephenson for the RT spot.
