Mariota did well but guy who really made lots of $$ today was

OT Jake Fisher. Ultra-athletic. Moves around like pt guard.

Possible 1st round

Jake Fisher looked incredibly athletic at Oregon's pro day? No

surprise here. My No. 2 OT.

I gave OT Jake Fisher a first round grade when I evaluated him

but barely missed 1st round in pre-free agency mock. Like the

kid a lot.

Theres just are only a few "experts" that I value there opinion and listen when they give information. Gil is a proven old head, that still knows the current game.

Plus he's isn't only one talking up fishers pro day, many others said it was better than his combine. I called fisher flawless there, whats better than flawless?

Greg Gabriel, who was a scout for Giants 1985-2001 before spending 9 years as Director of College Scouting for the Bears (2002-2010):

from his prospect focus on Jake Fisher:

"Jake Fisher from Oregon is a left tackle... Since the season ended, his value has shot up. I think one of the reasons is that once the coaches got involved in the process, they saw more to Fisher’s game than some scouts did. ... When you watch tape, it jumps out that he is very well coached. He has very good snap reaction, keeps his back straight in pass protection, and does an excellent job using his hands. Right now, he is a better pass blocker than a run blocker... I see his best fit as a left tackle in a zone scheme. ... The player he reminds me of from an athletic and size point of view is OT Lane Johnson who was the fourth overall pick in the 2013 draft to the Eagles. While he isn’t as talented as Johnson was he has the same type of game. It wouldn’t surprise me if Fisher went in the lower part of the first round, but I feel it is more likely that he goes in the early second."

note Lane Johnson rated as Pro Football Focus' second-best right tackle in the NFL and only allowed one sack and two hits in 909 snaps

http://www.nj.com/eagles/index.ssf/2015/01/eagles_lane_johnson_rated_second_best_right_tackle_in_nfl_by_pro_football_focus.html

Johnson was named to Pro Football Focus' All-Pro Team along with Eagles' left tackle Jason Peters.

Quite honestly, Fisher probably won't even be there at 25.

Quite honestly, Fisher probably won't even be there at 25.

I guess every pick in the draft is either going to be a 4th round pick or gone 24 picks ahead of us.

Huddle gonna huddle.

[sml1950]

It wouldn't surprise me if Chip Kelly took him @20. It's time for Lane Johnson to move over to the left side and Peters is on the wrong side of 30 to be running plays every 15-20 seconds. Kelly is much more likely to value Fisher higher than other teams since he knows,him and has experience in the system. If this occurs look for the Eagles to offer up Peters on draft day and the Panthers to make a run at him.

Lol

Good lord. This is the worst draft ever. 47 prospects will be gone before pick 25.

I could totally see something like that happening.

[CarolinaNCSU]

I agree that I could see Chip taking him at 20...but nobody else before us at 25. I don't think he'll fall to us in the 2nd, and frankly I wouldn't mind a trade up for him if he's falling to around 50 or so. 

[MedellinHeel]

Fisher is the guy I want the most out of the first two rounds (realistically). 

 

He has a good chance of being a great LT for a long time in the league. 

 

I have no clue why he is being overlooked.
