NFL Draft 2024: Right tackle Blake Fisher of Avon High School picked by Texans

Avon High School and Notre Dame tackle Blake Fisher was selected by the Houston Texans in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He's the 59th overall choice.

Blake Fisher scouting reports

From NFL.com's Lance Zierlein: Athletic tackle with the talent to gain some traction in a draft that is deep at his position. Fisher can be late off the ball, creating early disadvantages, and his contact balance and hand usage can be spotty at times. He’s a capable climber and puller as a move blocker and he does a nice job of drive blocking with plus technique to create leverage. He establishes his anchor against a bull rush but will occasionally struggle to open his hips and keep edge rushers from flattening into the pocket. In general, he’s going to mirror up against counters. Fisher needs to do a better job with consistency and finishing blocks, but he has the tape and tools to become a starter at either tackle spot.

From Bleacher Report: "Fisher is a young, long and powerful blocker with good athletic ability who can be an asset in the zone run game at tackle. He has more of a boom-or-bust element to his game as a pass protector that will require a plan for development before becoming a consistent starter, but he has the runway and traits for that to happen within his rookie contract."

From Pro Football Network: "Fisher’s tools give him a fantastic starting point for NFL success. You can see he’s already been well-coached and has a solid base of fundamentals. With another year at Notre Dame, Fisher could have been a surefire first-rounder — something that will likely push NFL teams to nab him earlier than initially projected."
