6. JAKE FISHER | Oregon 6061|306 lbs|4SR Traverse City, Mich. (Traverse City West HS) 8/16/1993 (age 21) #75
GRADE 1st-2nd Round
BACKGROUND: A three-star offensive line recruit out of high school, Fisher verbally committed to Michigan early in the process, but de-committed after Rich Rodriguez was let go and signed with Oregon. After serving as a back-up guard as a true freshman, he moved outside to right tackle where he started 11 games in 2012 as a sophomore, earning All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention honors. Fisher started 11 games at right tackle again in 2013 as a junior, earning All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention honors for the second straight year. He moved to left tackle as a senior and started 13 games, earning First Team All-Pac 12 and some All-American votes. He had to decline his invite to the 2015 Senior Bowl because of injury.
STRENGTHS: Tall with adequate bulk and arm length…sets up quickly off the snap and gets into position, showing light feet and easy shuffle – above average athleticism for the position…natural lateral movements to get out in space and control defenders with his momentum…utilizes angles well, turning defenders to seal inside run lanes…will open his chest at times and give up yards initially at contact, but quickly catches himself, re-anchors and recovers…physical hands with the punch to jolt, extending and using his length to create space between him and defenders…mobile to get to the second level…consistently mean, competitive and chippy – mature individual, but flips the switch on the field and plays on edge…veteran presence with an overachieving attitude – his impact was obvious when injured and not in the line-up…three-year starter with 35 career starts split between left tackle (13 starts) and right tackle (22 starts).
WEAKNESSES: Average functional strength and has room to cultivate his core power…bad habit of allowing his shoulders to rise and not bending at his knees…overeager blocking appetite, lunging to meet defenders, forcing him to fall off-balance due to impatience – ends up on the ground too much…too many instances of late, lackadaisical hands, failing to keep his elbows inside…hand placement needs refined to better sustain, often landing on the outside of his target, leading to holding penalties…tends to overrun his pulling target with suspect spatial awareness, struggling to break down in space…dinged up résumé, missing playing time each of the last three seasons due to injury, including a left knee sprain (Sept. 2014) that sidelined him for two games and plagued him throughout his senior season.
SUMMARY: A high school tight end, Fisher moved to the offensive line at Oregon and quickly moved up the depth chart, starting 35 games the last three seasons. He moves well for the position both laterally and downfield, operating in space with the hungry competitive nature needed to match-up with NFL rushers. Fisher needs to stay balanced through contact and consistently sink his hips to play with consistent pad level and although he lacks the power to be a bully in the run game, he understands body angles to seal run lanes – ideal fit in a zone scheme. Fisher isn’t a flawless prospect, but shows similar traits as Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle Anthony Castonzo, projecting as a top-40 prospect, possible first round pick and future starter.

5. AMEER ABDULLAH | Nebraska 5086|205 lbs|4SR Homewood, Ala. (Homewood HS) 6/13/1993 (age 21) #8
GRADE 2nd-3rd Round
BACKGROUND: A three-star athlete recruit out of high school, Abdullah received offers from USC and other prominent programs, including Auburn, his dream school. But those programs wanted him at cornerback, which attracted him to Nebraska who promised to give him a chance at running back, the position he wanted to play. With Rex Burkhead entrenched as the Huskers’ starter in 2011, Abdullah was a true freshman reserve and tallied only 150 yards rushing, but made an impact as the lead return man on kickoffs. Burkhead battled injuries in 2012, allowing Abdullah to see more playing time and lead the team in rushing as a sophomore with 1,137 yards. He took over as the full-time starter in 2013 and set a career-best with 1,690 rushing yards, including 100+ yards rushing in 11 of 13 games, adding a careerhigh 26 receptions and 11 total touchdowns, earning First Team All-Big Ten honors. Abdullah became the second player in school history to eclipse the 1,500-yard rushing mark twice, finishing his senior season with 1,611 yards and a career-best 22 touchdowns (19 rushing, 3 receiving). He earned Second Team All-American and All-Big Ten honors and was a finalist for the Doak Walker Award. Abdullah earned an invitation to the 2015 Senior Bowl.
STRENGTHS: Exciting athlete in space with rare start/stop burst, controlling his momentum and shifting his weight well to make sharp, fluid cuts…flexible ankles to stay low and accelerate quickly as if his feet are on fire – quick thinking runner with natural instincts to make proper reads without slowing down…good vision and sense of his surroundings, making him tough to square up and always appearing two steps ahead…attacks creases and lowers his pads to finish with natural balance, body control and low center of gravity to finish…possesses a compact build and forward lean that gives him deceiving pop at the point of attack to ram defenders, always running decisive and hard – never concedes yards and fights for every inch…tougher than he looks and enjoys finishing…above average receiving traits for the position with soft hands and experience running routes, making terrific adjustments on the ball – has some snaps lining up in the slot…gives up his body in pass protection…workhorse mentality and doesn’t quit, toughing out injuries – played in every game of his career, including through a knee sprain in 2013 and 2014…has special teams experience as a return man on both punts (31/316/10.2/1) and kickoffs (61/1,592/26.1/1)…two-year team captain and two-time Academic All-Big Ten…first class individual with elite character and intelligence…needs a trophy room to house all his accolades for both football and off-the-field excellence…second in Big Ten history in all-purpose yardage (7,186) and just one of 11 players in FBS history to surpass 7,000 all-purpose yards…first player in Nebraska history with 1,000+ rushing yards in three straight seasons, leaving Lincoln with the second-most rushing yards (4,588) in Huskers history.
WEAKNESSES: Leaner than ideal and lacks an ideal body type for the position – limited upper and lower body growth potential…too easily slowed by arm tackles and lacks the power to drag tacklers – won’t do much after initial contact between the tackles…questionable endurance and will wear down in the second half…didn’t miss a start the last two seasons, but his limited build leads to durability concerns at the next level…will out-juke himself and make too many moves at times…room to clean up his routes as a pass-catcher…willing, but needs to improve his awareness and base strength in pass protection – too often uprooted and tossed aside, struggling to mirror with short arms…ball security is a strong concern (25 career fumbles, including five in 2014) – highest fumble rate in this class (35.4), fumbling once every 35.4 offensive touches.
SUMMARY: Most schools wanted him at defensive back during the high school recruiting process, but Abdullah was determined to play running back and Nebraska stayed firm on their commitment to keep him in the backfield and it paid off – fell just 192 yards shy of Mike Rozier’s school rushing record. He is the ninth of nine kids in his family and comes from a structured environment with above average character, both on and off the field. Abdullah is an extremely smart runner and processes the action very well in motion, setting up his moves like a chess player, always two moves ahead – his upper body, lower body and eye level always appear on the same page. His lack of size creates long-term durability concerns, but few run harder and more energetic at this size – extremely balanced, tough and determined to churn out as many yards as possible. Abdullah has been exposed in pass protection on several game tapes and enters the NFL with ball security questions as well, two areas that need addressed before a team will give him significant snaps. He won’t be a bell-cow type of runner in the NFL, but will make an impact as a rusher, receiver and return man – borderline top-60 pick who can play a versatile Shane Vereen-like role at the next level.

Baltimore traded its second and fifth-round picks to Arizona to move up in second round. Baltimore wants another offensive weapon.
