They could easily go with a stop gap if Fisher were back in 2022 but as of right now, that's only happening if he signs an extension, during an injury year.
You're making a major leap of faith saying that Fisher will be the same. There's a very good chance he'll never be the same player again.
It would help a ton if they can talk Mitchell into 1 more year and he holds RT steady. [Reply]

They need two tackles and at least one of them needs to be a vet, IMO.
I guess we will see.
I think so too.
I would be really tempted to shop their first rounder around to some of the teams looking to really rebuild and see if they'd swing a pick for a LT.
The Lions, the Falcons, maybe the Eagles with Dillard.
If you could get one of those guys for 32 and next years 3rd, I'd be interested. [Reply]
So we need to come out of this draft with a center and a tackle. I think guard is good for the most part. Allegretti is probably your LG and barring something drastic happening....LDT is your RG. [Reply]

And that doesn't include guys that were drafted in the 1st but after pick 22 (Duane Brown, Bryan Bulaga, Isaiah Wynn, Anthony Costanzo, Ryan Ramczyk,
Lots of ways to skin the cat. It still all comes down to me to who they feel is the best value in that spot.
If it's a T like Jaylen Mayfield or Teven Jenkins, or a WR like our boy Marshall, or a DE like Azeez or Phillips or Odeyingbo, OK. All work for me.
This is, fortunately, a really good T draft.

I had heard the same on Mitchell Schwartz, actually.
Makes the Niang pick even more interesting. I assume Veach is aware both are mulling retirement rather than extension.
Fisher has been so good for them and so critical to the team's success... I have a feeling they'll try to take care of him in some way. Maybe that means they extend him to reduce this year's cap hit and spread out the cost of cutting him over two years or something like that (or give him the option to see how rehab goes and come back in 2022 for one more year).

Yeah, you gotta figure Niang slots in there somewhere. He was good at LT at TCU, so if he can do it, you put him there IMO. [Reply]
