I believe he has played inside both in college and at the pro level. He's always been a smart, field general type and he's listed at about 6'4" and 260 lbs by NFL.com., so I have little doubt he could handle MLB duties in Gunther's scheme. I wouldn't have a problem with adding a heady vet who's good in coverage to the middle of the D, giving Bell and DJ more freedom to be disruptive from the outside.
I think Boomer will end up at ROLB because he's so explosive like Bell and the former Chief Gun compares Bell to, Anthony Davis. Johnson is seen by Gunther as a challenger for Fujita's LOLB position as Fox was last year. It seems like there is a huge hole at MLB that a heady vet with a couple years left in his legs could fill nicely. I like Mitchell but I'd rather have a field general like Hardy between Bell and EJ.
