Short on glam, slim on glitter and no sign of Manti Te'o, the NFL draft was still a solid B-plus.
More than 2 1/2 tons of linemen, five trades, one quarterback and no Manti Te'o.
This year's NFL draft is heavy on size and light on glamour.
Fisher, from Central Michigan, became the first player from the Mid-American Conference taken to open the draft. He is the third offensive tackle picked No. 1 overall since the 1970 merger, joining Orlando Pace in 1997 and Jake Long five years ago.

This year's NFL rookie offensive linemen are chock full of stories and characters.
A record 73 underclassmen, including six first-team All-Americans, were approved for the NFL draft on Saturday.
"It's always nice when the O-line gets some respect," offensive tackle Luke Joeckel said after being taken No. 2 by Jacksonville.
"I don't have words for all the emotions I feel," he said. "It's the best feeling of my entire life."
