Many Tackles come in and spend time playing a Guard position to get used to the NFL game.
It can be viewed as a Versatility and maybe Fisher could be developed longer term to be a RT option but
while he is developing he may take over a Starting Guard role for a time as my quote below implies.

potential longer term RT option."
I completely understand what you were implying with your statement. However, I do not believe that Fisher needs to develop as a long term answer at RT. He has not played guard even at the collegiate level. He has 25 starts at Notre Dame and everyone of them came at the RT position. He also has taken meaningful RT snaps in both gap and zone formations so he is well versed in that respect as well.
I do not think you are considering the depth of this OT class as to why he is projecting to be drafted as late as he is being drafted. There is also the fact that he plays as refined as he does while only being a redshirt sophomore. I have to disagree that he should start inside at guard and I actually believe it would be counterproductive to his development.
