    With the 1st overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, the Chiefs select Central Michigan OT Eric Fisher. While he lacks the name recognition of some of his peers, the 6-8, 305-pound Fisher ranks among the top senior offensive tackles in the country, performing well in showdowns against Iowa, Michigan State and against a surprisingly dangerous pass-rushing Toledo defense in 2011.

    Fisher built on that success as a senior, earning third-team All-America recognition from the Associated Press while starting all 13 games on the blind side and helping anchor an offense that averaged 6.2 yards per play.

    A dominant week of practice at the Senior Bowl emphatically demonstrated what scouts had been projecting for months -- that Fisher was the elite senior offensive tackle in the country. He continued that ascent with an excellent showing at the Scouting Combine, which brought Fisher into the conversation as a potential Top 10 pick.
