Welcome to KC Mr. Fisher!!!

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the Chiefs have informed Luke Joeckel that Eric Fisher will be the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday night's draft.

Good choice! Lets get to work now!

[slc chief]

ya like thats a credible source. funny how the nfl network and espn just said 2 minutes ago that the chiefs will not disclose the pick until they turn there card in. just a po dunk paper trying to get some internet bites. the pick most likely is fisher though

For what its worth, PFT is reporting the same:

Lmao real credible site... lmao.....although it would be my first choice if draft LT

[Lord-Chiefy]

Wow 2 1/2 hrs to draft and it's quiet in here..

[Lord-Chiefy]

Joekle might have been told he wasn't 1 but no one said it was fisher. Please god for once let us trade down instead of the guy below us like it seems to always happen

[ItAintEasyBeingaChiefsFan]

It just keeps pouring in.....I'm hoping I know, but I've wanted this selection for a very long time and please don't trade BA.

A source with knowledge of the team's plans tells Profootballtalk the Chiefs will select Central Michigan LT Eric Fisher with the No. 1 pick.

This report mercifully avoids the semantics of who's been "informed" of what. There will undoubtedly be more conflicting reports between now and when Commissioner Roger Goodell steps to the podium to announce Kansas City's pick, but the evidence that Fisher will go ahead of Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel has become overwhelming.

espn is reporting they contacted joeckel and the statement is false. he hasnt been told that fisher is the pick.. that being said you gotta love the modern day media everybody wants to break the story first

[jap1]

Fisher is now official!

[ItAintEasyBeingaChiefsFan]

Such a great addition to the Chiefs!

And this says about Brandon?

And this says about Brandon?

It says Albert was too docile to be the LT going forward with this new regime & Fisher was drafted to put a mean streak into the LT position that the Chiefs haven't had since Willie Roaf was playing there.

[brdempsey69]

I believe also that by drafting Fisher, the new regime is making a statement to Albert of "get on board or get ran over". Albert never should have spoke to the media. He should have kept silent like Hali and Bowe did. They will not franchise him next year & will be content to get a compensatory pick in 2015 if he walks.

We might have to keep Albert this year but Eric can play the right side. Albert has no choice but to play hard for his salary for next year, whoever he plays for then. Having Albert and Fisher does not suck, I'll bet Jamaal is frothing at the bit right now!!All contingent if Miami does not come through with some picks. That slap in the face last night ticked me off. Gave the 42nd to the Faiders of all teams!!!!! and left about 520 or so trade value points on the table!! now they still need a tackle. I hope Dorsey sees it that the price just went up for Miami.

Jamaal is very happy with the pick of Fisher & you can see for yourself right here:
