D82 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 I liked the Jaylon and LVE picks. They both ended up sucking. Maybe Parsons lives up to his hype? But….I doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas_OutLaw7 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The weird thing is near the start of the season Parsons was considered a top 5 pick and Dallas would not have a shot at. Lol Still don't like the pick just funny how that worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextyearfordaboyz Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The #1 best thing about this is it takes Jaylon off the field. Could have done that with #44 or #75, but that’s good news. This pick makes me really nervous. Like I said before the draft, I don’t think you are going to succeed over the long haul making decisions like this. But that doesn’t mean it can’t work out on an idiosyncratic basis. Maybe 7 out of 10 (random % to illustrate point) Micah Parson equivalents end up as busts. But if you get one of the 3 that doesn’t, you’re very happy. I hope that’s the case for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the irrational nonsense about weaknesses in his game just comes across as a hysterical tantrum. I’ve watched Micah Parsons since he was a freshman in high school. He is simply a flat out dude who finds the ball and makes an impact. Period. The guy suffered an ankle injury requiring crutches in a state playoff basketball game, and 7 days later went to the Army HS All-American game as a DE and beat the hell out of future NFL OTs, staked a claim as the best defensive player on either team. Then switched positions and led the team in tackles as a true freshman who never played linebacker before in his life and didn’t even start full time until the bowl game. Then became an All-American and put on the most dominant defensive performance of the entire 2019 bowl season in Jerry’s own Stadium before obviously opting out. The stuff about “read and react” and “off ball linebacker” are way overthinking it based on a narrow-minded view of the situation. He simply flat out balls and is perfect for Quinn’s LEO position. He is not a high IQ player right now because of his infancy at the position, but his instincts are off the charts and he simply has a knack for finding the ball and making the play, even if his “read” isn’t great on the upfront. The amount of force he generates in his rush, in pursuit, and on impact with the ballcarrier is absurd. He runs fast and that’s where any nonsensical comparison to Jaylon Smith should end. Parsons is a flat out dude and while it’d be nice to have gotten that type of player at corner, the board simply didn’t fall that way. So to get that type of impact defender *and* an extra top 100 pick is as good as you could possibly hope for. You can check my history and if anything I’m way more conservative in my declarations for Penn State prospects since I’m most familiar with them, but Parsons is the guy that you would want to pick if you were playing a game in the parking lot with everyone who went tonight and just wanted to win. He is that dude. Period. Thanks for the breakdown, definitely appreciate the perspective of someone who has been invested in the player’s entire career. A follow up... do you really think Parsons’ long term spot is at LEO? This is the first suggestion I’ve seen that he isn’t headed for the Bobby Wagner role.

Texas_OutLaw7 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I'll die on the hill that while I don't like the pick, I'm thrilled I got a third rounder for it. If it was already gonna be the pick. Maximize the return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep waiting for the obligatory Cowboys press release where they state that Parsons was the 3rd player on their board behind Lawrence, and Pitts.

SweetFancyMoses Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 When Tyron's back knocks him out again and the left side of our line sucks, remember the amazing Parsons pick. I mean I know reports are that Tyron and La'el are in better shape that when they were 23, but that's never fabricated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
