Just saw in twitter.
Now ESPN and Bleacher report just hit up my phone with it.

Yup yup.
Bengals official Twitter also.

Pretty Excited about this pick. The guy comes from an uptempo offense. Ducks Ran more plays during a College game than any other teams while Fisher was there.

I really think he is conditioned more so than a normal O-line rookie.

Good to hear, thanks for the news.

Welcome Jake.

potential at all 5 positions. He will be first OL up at most of them. Probably see all the jumbo snaps as well. Hell of an athlete.
We seemed to have made a philosophy change to a true ZBS up front. We added a lot of athletes over the last few years.

I've got an inkling that he's going to be real hard to keep off the field on Sundays, and I'm not talkin' as an extra TE on running plays.

Something also tells me that if Andre Smith doesn't have a stellar OTA's/TC, that he could find himself traded/released.

I also think the Bengals have Ogbuehi slated to replace Whit...

I'm really excited to see what Fisher can do. I agree that he may find his way into the starting line up this year. It'll be interesting to see if Boling or Zeitler get some snaps at center and see if they can handle the job. Then Fisher could start off as a guard.

I have been thinking the same thing. These last few players are a lot different than
what we have went after in the past, maulers. Fisher and Obewi are great athletes.

Different philosophy no doubt. Might be a great thing with the way the game seems
to be changing and with our new talented RB's.

Fits Hill's running style. He's a one cut go type. Reads the blocks then puts his foot down and goes.

Very true. I love the fit, look for a big year from Hill if he is used correctly.

The Fisher pick could easily be the best pick in the Draft and i loved the Dawson,
Shaw, Hardison and Alford picks tons.

If these picks pan out the way they should. This may have been one of the best drafts ever. Assuming they work out this is a top ten draft

Whitworth 2.0.....he even looks like a younger Whit. I dig it.

Yeah that's valuable versatility. How many teams have a quality young backup they can pay a little over a million for four years? He will eventually start, but he has amazing value. The holding calls worry me a bit. He has good technique for the most part so you wonder if some of them were due to need vs stronger run defenders. They will release Eifert a lot, so RT may not be an ideal fit. I think he'd be a great LG and luxury to move to tackle if there is an injury. Either way, you can't debate his value in the 2nd.

I'd want at least a 3rd round pick for Andre Smith. If it wasn't a contract year, I'd want a 2nd round pick.

Creative thinking. I like it. Get the best five out there.

When it's all said and done, which of these rookies ends up at LT? I've seen it said both ways. Hobs, if I'm not mistaken, sees Fisher at LT. Other people say it'll be Ced. I wonder if it's a situation that is yet to play out or if Marvin already has that plan in his mind.

From what i have seen of the 2 Fisher is the best fit at LT.

Obuehi should be our future RT.

But what is so nice with these guys is they can play both positions.
