He only has 230 snaps in coverage all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality is, he has cover skills like a DB. Parson is an absolute war daddy in every facet of the game. Coverage, pass rush, you name it. The cold part is he's only gonna get better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what’s insane is that the Cowboys only took him because the Broncos didn’t take a QB. It’s possible he could have fell to the Raiders, I think of how awesome that would be but then I realized that Gruden probably still would have taken Leatherwood.

Mr. Leatherwood would have been taken top 5 of we were picking there. Remember, he was "the highest rated player on our board" per Mayock the Magnificent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYRaider Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Address WR in free agency with two veterans so we don't have to draft one. Go after DeMarvin Leal/Daniel Faalele in the first two rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen this story before. Parsons hit the ground running and is much much better than I though he'd ever be. But, I wouldn't expect him to get better when he already looks great; he's just giving Dallas a lot early--which is great for him and them. Break out rookies--particularly at instinctive positions like runningback or linebacker--usually level off or regress instead of getting better, especially when you consider injuries (see Dallas last two highly touted linebackers). I will say that I have only really watched Parsons against the Raiders and he was pretty much just an edge rusher or an extra blitzer. Is that what he plays every game for Dallas? If that's the case, I could definitely see him getting better as an edge rusher. And, even without watching a snap of him in coverage, there is no shot he has DB coverage skills. I think that's just vast underestimation of what it takes to cover NFL receivers. Maybe backup-level DB coverage skills--which is still good for a linebacker. I feel like it's shorthand for when a player covers well for not being a DB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agarcia34 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Right now where the Raiders are picking at the moment I think it takes them out of a couple of players who I mentioned before(Dean,Gardner,Neal) Think this would be a great spot for Chris Olave. Can’t teach speed and he has it. Also a damn good route runner 1.Chris Olave WR 2.Roger McCreary CB 3.Haskell Garrett DT I would address RT and SS in FA along with WR as well.

I would prefer to wait because good WR prospects always fall in the 2/3 range. I’m all for building up the OL or DL in round 1 this year (Jordan Davis would be ideal).
