Better know a Prospect - Jake Fisher

[Jeremy Igo]

Jake Fisher 

OT - Senior - Oregon

6'6 - 300lbs

 

 

This season I hope the Panthers get serious about drafting offensive linemen from legit college programs who have played real competition. Forget measurables, look at production and attitude.

 

I really like what I see in Jake Fisher. He appears to have a bit of that mean streak I love in lineman, often finishing off blocks with authority even when away from the play. Gets to the next level very nicely. Was a TE his freshman year so he has the athletic ability.

 

Was injured early in the Ducks season, and it had a negative effect on the team. Mariotta was sacked 12 times while he was out. The whole Oregon offense showed a marked improvement when he came back. That speaks volumes to me.

 

The Panthers are a Remmers injury away from being awful again. The thought of Chandler playing RT again is something I just cannot stand to see. I'd like to see the Panthers select Fisher and groom him for the starting RT spot eventually.

 

Right now Jake Fisher looks to be a 3rd - 4th round selection for someone.

 

 

 

 

 

Plus, he certainly sounds like a NFL lineman....

A double dip on Tackle?

 

I could totally seeing us drafting a guy like this. Gettleman has really sold me on the fact that he can find starter ability in any round.

 

BPA doesn't mean we cant find a starter in later rounds.

Not quite as corn fed as the B1G guys I was looking at, but looks like he got angrys.

Now we're talking.

From what I saw in the national championship he looked good. He seemed to push people around and get to the 2nd level well. Haven't seen much Oregon football though.

Why the leg brace?

Why the leg brace?

Nearly all college linemen wear them.

[DanTheMan]

Oh I thought maybe an injury.

[Captain Morgan]

I'd take him in the third, absolutely.  Maybe even the second.  To get a starting OT

in the second works just fine for me.  

 

just because the line gelled at the end of the year doesn't mean we don't need

upgrades at BOTH tackle positions.  I'd love to see him and Remmers fight it out

in camp.

[Mr. Scot]

Sounds like a smart guy.

 

And yeah...

 

[MHS831]

He is probably going to rise after the combine, but who knows.( he interviews well)  I think he could be a late-second rounder by draft day.

Nearly all college linemen wear them.

 

I know I would.  Seems like the majority of lineman leg injuries come from being rolled up on from behind.  Gotta think a knee brace would help protect you somewhat from that.

[WUnderhill]

I think we need to come out of this with at least 2 legit Tackle prospects.

But then, I said that last year too...

How many picks we got, 7?

 

5 OL, 1 safety and 1 WR would be fine with me.
