The San Diego Chargers scouts made their way over to chat with Eric Fisher on Wednesday, per Draft Countdown. Fisher is one of the big boys up front that have had scouts buzzing during the Senior Bowl. I have been talking about him for the last few days because he constantly is mocked to us with the 11th pick and he has been killing it at the Senior Bowl.

Fisher is the big left tackle from Central Michigan whose athleticism and size has been impressive. He fits the biggest need on the offensive line for the San Diego Chargers. Other teams that are in need of a left tackle will try to make a move up in the draft before the Chargers to take Fisher.

If only Jared Gaither could kick that ~~lazy~~ injury bug, then we could look at a different position with our top pick. Instead, we need to get as many big dudes for the offensive front that we can grab.

If Fisher is not available with the 11th pick in the draft, then we will look at the next best offensive lineman. Moving down in the draft and snatching up more picks could be an option as well.

Keep an eye on the big left tackle this weekend to get a glimpse at what could be our future blind side protector. I am sure Philip Rivers would enjoy this selection.
