So it seems like many of us, myself included, have talked ourselves into the feasibility of drafting Shazier at 29 or shortly thereafter.
It seems, though, that Shazier's stock is rising while CJ Mosley's is falling. While I tend to believe half of what I see and none of what I hear these days, it seems at least possible that both will be available when we pick, or near enough for a modest trade up. Obviously Mosley's been on TV often enough to have seen his work, but I'm less comfortable evaluating Shazier. I see them both compared to Lavonte David, but that seems lazy and/or reckless.
So I throw it to you. What should BB do if both are available? Is there enough separating them to trade up 3-4 spots to get one? If both are sitting at 29, should he pounce on one or should he trade back until one is taken, then draft the other? Let's assume that Bb has decided to draft an undersized, athletic linebacker, and all the other highly-regarded first-round possibilities (Hageman, Nix, Pryor, Easley) are taken. I'm just looking for a side-by-side valuation of Mosely and Shazier.
