Neither of these guys was any semblance of a Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle.  Think about it.  We always drafted big, heavy dudes with good feet and an ability to run block.  Suddenly in 2015, they picked these lightweight basketball player looking dudes and things went sideways.  It was a shit idea and still is.  

Not only that, but when BOTH of the players you have rated so high land in your lap.....most people with any semblance of common sense would back up and punt on Fisher.  I mean....the old adage is always true:  If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.  Did they honestly believe after the decades of trainwrecks, that they all of the sudden got lucky?
