Gotta have a partner in order to trade down........ maybe no one wanted to move up, then what? We're filling a need here at ILB.

I meant they signed Foote last season to fill a hole.
I wasn't crazy about the pick but that said it has been a while since the Steelers have had two premier athletes at ILB...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust & sweat & blood...
The more I think about it, the more I like it. The guy was a tackling machine in a major conference for two years. And he runs sub 4.4! Clowney was drafted #1 basically on one year, and his athleticism.
If Shazier isn't that level of athletic freak at his position, he's close.
Maybe this makes Nix a target in the 2nd
1. CB – Marcus Peters – Washington – 6/190
2. OG – Josue Matias – Florida State – 6-6/320
3. OLB – Geneo Grissom – Oklahoma – 6-4/250
4. DL – Ellis McCarthy – UCLA – 6-5/330
5. TE – Jeff Heurman – Ohio State – 6-5/255
6. FS – Adrian Amos – Penn State – 6/200
7. DT – Terry Williams – East Carolina – 6-1/340
UDFA
DB – Justin Cox – Mississippi St. – 6-2/190
OLB – Davis Tull – Chattanooga – 6-2/242
Was thinking the same thing. Maybe not Nix... maybe McLendon fills the role just fine. Or Fangupo. But with Shazier and Timmons (who isn't your classic run-stuffer; in many ways, another Shazier)... if we can let these guys run to the ball, our D will be fantastic!
With Shazier's speed and explosion, could they move Jones inside and let Shazier play OLB, after his two year waiting period? (the waiting period comment is just for Ovi!)

Dallas Cowboys were ready to select Ryan Shazier at No. 16 until #Steelers grabbed him. Agent was on phone w Cowboys.
