Since some of the many mock drafts done recently by experts have him going to the Packers in the first round, I guess some research on Ohio State LB Ryan Shazier would be worthwhile. Apparently Shazier, who led the Big Ten with 134 Tackles last season, is pretty good, recording a 10"10 on the Broad Jump, a 42" on the Vertical Jump, and a 6.91 on the 3-Cone in his recent appearance at the combines. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely something impressive. I know it sounds cliché, but I wouldn't mind seeing the Pack draft this guy. He seems to have a lot of talent.

The Packers seem set at inside linebacker, but they don't have a true outside linebacker other than Clay Matthews. All the other candidates (Peppers, Palmer, Mulumba, Neal, Perry) are converted DE and aren't good options at playing off the line of scrimmage and in space.
So while Shazier wouldn't fit the mold of recent draft choices, I could see them wanting to add a smaller, athletic LB.
