Fisher is projected to go right into the Chiefs’ starting offensive line.

“I can’t even process what’s happening right now,” an elated Fisher told ESPN after being drafted.  “This is a dream come true.  The fact that I was the number-one pick, I can’t understand what’s going on right now.”

The Chiefs are beginning a new era after hiring head coach Andy Reid, who spent 14 seasons in Philadelphia and will have a new quarterback in Alex Smith. The Chiefs traded for Smith during the offseason.

The Jacksonville Jaguars selected offensive tackle Luke Joeckel out of Texas A&M with the second overall pick.  The Oakland Raiders traded their third pick to the Miami Dolphins, who selected Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan.
