I guess Ben and I have the same thought regarding Shazier. From the 1st round pick thread.

I hope Shazier is good enough to start from day one beside Timmons and be productive.

He has the football IQ to, so I won't rule it out. Like I said in the draft thread I can see him calling the defensive plays in a few years..

And from the draft thread.

Shazier will play inside? For what reasons? Why not take Mosely if they wanted an inside lb?

Because of his pass coverage ability to take TE's out of the game, along with being very physical for his size. I can also see him taking over the defensive play calling in a few years. And that is not a slight on Timmons at all.?
