I'm not an expert offensive line evaluator but besides agreeing that Ced will probably struggle at any spot on the line based of last seasons horrid play, I also feel like Fisher is more built to play left tackle. He's 6'6 300 lbs ,a converted tight end and not really a mauler/ grinder in the run game which the right tackle position tends to be. Fisher seems more like a finesse / athletic offense linemen. Along with struggling to pass block last seasons the Bengals haven't been able to run the ball effectively in quite some time. I don't see that changing with Bodine getting pushed around, if Zeitler leaves based on reading Westerman's profile he's struggles with getting push in the run game, I don't see Fisher being a mauler and Boling seems to be a better pass blocker than run blocker.
I actually think Fisher will end up working out pretty good.
He really didn't get any reps all year since Ced was starting. It will be interesting to see how he plays next year with a full year of prep.
