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.
Thanks for pointing out my statements. Was there some sort of point in it? I know exactly what I said. Is there a point you were trying to make with drafting of B. Jones? Dawand Jones was drafted in the 4th round and he started in week 2.
When I said that I did not feel he needed to develop to be the long term answer I felt it was a statement that was pretty clear. When I watch him on tape I feel like he is an extremely technically sound RT that could start on day 1. Obviously, I would hope that he would continue to develop as he played in the league but I do not see a glaring weakness in his game that would cause me panic if I needed him to start on week 1.
