Taking an OT that wasn't on their board and/or is slotted way later than 32 is.
That's the point - not that taking an OT is an automatic reach but that they shouldn't let the Fisher injury change their draft strategy.

While I don't think you have to push it to the top of the draft board, I also don't think you can just say it won't change their strategy at all. It clearly will. Tackle depth was already precariously thin on the roster before Fisher went down, now even more so. If they're able to reach an injury settlement with Fisher and then find someone in FA to compete at LT, then that changes things, so we'll just have to wait and see what happens in FA prior to the draft.
