Blake Fisher is projected early on as a third-rounder by some draft experts, and I can see that. He looks like a Day 2 pick to me.

Fisher was one of the top-60 recruits in the entire 2021 class and he has all the tools to be a solid offensive tackle at the next level. He could even shift over to guard if teams believe he is projected better on the interior. He started all 13 games for the Irish at right tackle in 2022 and was one of the main reasons why the run game was so impressive.

That Notre Dame offensive line was actually one of the honor roll mentions for the Joe Moore Award. They could have an even stronger unit in 2023 with Fisher back.

Fisher should be the starting right tackle again and I think he could play his way into a second-round pick with a good season.
