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..
You have made two statements: 1. In Post #1 you said "I am trying to figure out why he is not in the talk for RT?"
2. Above you said "I do not believe that Fisher has to develop as a long term answer at RT"
The Steelers took Tackle Broderick Jones at #14 overall in 2023 and he made his first Start in Week 5.
How would you Plan for Blake Fisher if you were the Bengals and he was the actual RT solution ?
Examples: Get a Free Agent that likely would Yield the Job to Fisher sometime during the 2024 season
Get a Free Agent that can hold the Job all thru 2024 (if healthy) then Fisher is RT in 2025
Plan to Start Blake Fisher at RT on day one, game one
Start either Jackson Carmen or D'Ante Smith week 1 & so on until they Yield to Fisher by say mid season
*It is Early in the Draft process (Pre-Combine) so Fisher could climb up in how Teams view him even in a Deep Class.
