That sucks..........I was hoping KC would make a move for him. He can make a team.

The Cards are certainly stacking things up on the defensive side.
I can't for the life of me name their starting QB, RB or TE.

Ugh! I still want him to become a sucsess in the NFL. He was one of my favorites at Michigan.
Good luck Shazor I look foreward to seeing you lay the wood on the rest of the NON Broncos.

Anyone know why he went undrafted? Didn't read too many mock drafts but thought most had him going in 2nd round.

I was wondering the same thing - he looked great when I watched him play. I thought he would have been a day 1 pick, but instead he went undrafted. Is there some news that I missed, and why didn't Denver grab him with their last pick after losing Kennedy?

I had read the Jags signed him....His problems are his mobility or lack there of it and he is too small to be an WLB....no real position to put him in.

Because the NFL evaluation process is as much about potential (read combine stats) as production on the field. Shazor and Browner both had poor, relatively, combine stats for their positions. NFL teams apparently didn't think enough of their on the field production to project them to new positions or live with their shortfalls.
Kind of dumb if you ask me, but that's why Fabian Washington goes round 1 and Shazor goes undrafted. It also explains why Matt Jones goes at #21 overall. Like Shazor and Browner, he will likely be learning a new position in the NFL, but the GMs and coaches think that his combine stats (read potential) make him worth the pick.
