Brugler and Brandt both had parsons at 12 in there board two of the guys I trust the most much more then anyone here. So go chat with them.

We've spent the 34th, 19th, and now 12th picks on off-ball LBs since 2016- a position where you play 2 players the majority of the snaps, and they usually wear down quickly. This isn't exploiting a market inefficiency, it's failing to learn from your mistakes. Embarrassing. Who should’ve been the pick then? Another OT after they’ve invested highly in it in previous years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows what we'll have in La'el after his hip injury I’m sure Jerry Jones, the coaches and the rest of the front office know more than you or all the other complainers on here. So I’ll trust their judgement. Edited April 30, 2021 by Tony7188 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Neal and Parsons we have two versatile pieces we didn't have last year. This is not directed at you. I've heard the argument and agree that our DL is not our strongest asset and their deficiencies could expose our LB's. However if your DL is weak do you reach for a DL in this draft class? If you DL is weak why should that stop you from taking a LB? The entire D needs an infusion of talent. Let's see how he looks in pads. Fair enough, but history is on my side with this. Bobby Carpenter in 2006, LVE 2 years ago and now this. LB NEVER seems to live up to its potential when taken in the 1st round. At least not with this team.

He was the leader of a disturbing hazing event which led to a lawsuit against Penn St. It’s not good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hindsight is 20/20 but LVE had the injury concerns with his neck coming into the league. Like I said I want to hear what Quinn has to say about the Parson's pick and what his plans are for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
