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.

Eli Harold? Thoughts?

I was just thinking that myself....

Signed Suh... Philips will be a rotational guy.

Some teams care about stopping the run - not Green Bay, but some teams do.
