Active Roster
Question, a guy in the backfield making plays often has no reaction time or instincts? I don't think that's all speed and athleticism.
The problem with the defense is we are week at inside linebacker and Shazier does not fit this need. People continue to compare him and CJ and they play different roles and are two different LBs.
With the glut of Olinemen and WRs in this draft we can do it, our current LB core got EXPOSED all seasonMosley and Shazier both look good. Shazier seems to make more plays in the highlight reels. I'd take both. Do we need defense 2 years in a row?
Shazier had a medical condition called alopecia which results in you losing all your hair. Not an issue for me. The guy is one of the fastest defensive players in this year's draft and he can add some weight. I also would take him before CJ Mosley.
Those who compare Shazier to Wheeler need also stop - dude is non-stop competitorWhoever compared him to Willis needs to just stop scouting lol. Yes he's identical size but that's about the only comparison
Shazier's father, Vernon, has been the Dolphins’ chaplain for the past five seasons.At just over 6-1 and 237 pounds, Shazier wouldn’t be big enough to fit the prototype of former Dolphins personnel czars Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland. But Hickey has said he has no such size requirements with linebackers.
That's a pretty solid foot in the door that I was unaware of.

Joe probably knows his Dad pretty well and has been well briefed on Ryan's development.
