Nah. Out the box JOK is amazing in coverage and has great instincts. He’s a monster hitter and has an insane feel for the game. Im not saying we need to take him, but he’s an excellent prospect. The guy is pure muscle. He’ll add 10-15 pounds over time in the league, but even rn he’s a playmaker on day one.

Parsons is a much better blitzer than coverage LB at this point. He could be really good but is not as safe a player as JOK IMO.

Isaiah Simmons was leaps and bounds better as a prospect than JOK.

No he wasn't, but sure sensationalize it for your narrative. 

JOK played has a definitive position. He is much more refined in coverage. You see him on film running with RBs, TEs and WRs. He's got better instincts and ability to get off blocks playing WLB. 

They are similar. Simmons is stronger but JOK is the better all around player. And I loved Simmons

Agreed. The size difference is key. Simmons was built like a monster, and still could do basically most, if not all, the things JOK could do. 
 

JOK’s thin frame scares the heck out of me. 
 

And this is not a wild take by any means. The proof will be in the pudding. Simmons was taken Top 10, was constantly talked about as a Top FOUR prospect in a much more loaded class (2021 class is pretty meh). While JOK is talked about as a Top 20 pick and the second LB in the draft....
