Another prospect on the rise, someone we could highly be considering in the 10-15 range.

Fisher is one of the better pass blockers i've scouted (the past 5 drafts). He just gets it, awareness and recognition is there, has all the movement skills you want, rarely loses leverage, despite being 6'8"/6'9", great natural knee bender, wide base and quick feet when in pass pro. Uses hands well, and has a very heavy punch, and never lunges at guys to block them. Only downside is that he can get pushed back at times by a good bull rush, but almost always uses feet/hands/good base and sinks back down, wins back leverage and re-gains leverage. One of the better pulling OL i've seen in a long time, athleticism is top notch, especially shown when blocking at the 2nd level.

As a run blocker, he's not the strongest guy, but quick into his man, with his good punch and if nothing else, can wall his man out of the hole. He will finish if his man gets slightly off balance.

Honestly, he seems like a guy who's, athletic and highly polished. Could very well stand to add another 10-20lbs, but definitely has the frame for it. Inline power is the only sizable issue i see here, and he does a great job of masking that with his technique.

Eric Fisher is a beast. Looks like an incredible prospect. I think Warmack, Matthews, or Lewan could be in that area when we select, and I think I'd rather have one of them. (I know Warmack plays G, but we really, really need a guard...)

I will stand by Warmack, I just saw a little ESPN tidbit comparing him to Carl Nicks. Let's face it, Hangman just won't cut it as a starter anymore.

I know Gross has played poorly this season, but for the most part I attribute that to having a rookie beside him and then a second or third string center beside the rookie. Gross just needed more help.

If we draft Warmack, we pretty much sure up that offensive line.

LT: Jordan Gross, LG: Amini Silatolu, C: Ryan Kalil, RG: Chance Warmack, RT: Byron Bell

Do you like this guy more than Lewan? I feel like if Lewan fixes his first step in pass blocking he will be gold, speed rushers turn the corner quick on him but it looks like a footwork problem to me. As you stated Fisher is very technically sound pass blocking but just an average run blocker.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
