I hate the Fisher pick, and unless he becomes the next Willie Roaf, there's no way that pick can be justified.

That said, we really should see a big jump in his progression this upcoming season.

hey, like i said...Dorsey has to find a way to field a league average OL...with the bodies and draft picks he has, that should be feasible

Should have been feasible last year too. Instead he let average linemen walk away in free agency and replaced them with well below average linemen.

One of the worst lines in the league lost it's best player. If we're depending on rookies to improve the line then we're going to be disappointed IMO. Hell, look at Rodney Hudson. It took him a while to get to the point this year where he was one of the better centers. He was below average for a while before he got to this point.

We've spent countless early round picks on OL over the past several drafts and we've got shit to show for it.

Eric Fisher - 1st
Jeff Allen - 2nd
Rodney Hudson - 2nd
Jon Asamoah - 3rd

Two of them are gone now and the ones that remain either suck or simply aren't that good.

Not sure what point I'm trying to make beyond. I guess we simply suck at trying to build an offensive line.

Huge expectations, and unreasonable to expect that.

A 10-12 yr solid starter is good enough for me.
