How do you feel about the Parsons pick

[darthseinfeld]

Like it, dislike it, indifferent?

 

[cnuball21]

We got the best defender in the draft and added a 3rd...I'm good.

 

[HungryLion]

Love it

 

[TexasFFP]

Like picking up the 3rd but should have taken slater and drafted defense the rest of the way.

 

[JBS]

I havent studied him at all..I didnt think we would entertain him

Does anyone have any good videos they recommend on Parsons?

indifferent. I root for all cowboys players though. d smith doesn't care though.

 

[cheyennes]

He is good in the running game and blitzer, but no so good in coverage

 

[Pantone282C]

Good pick - went defense on a LB with a high motor.

 

[My3Sons]

You have to give this an A. I think they drafted a pro bowl quality player and picked up another top100 pick. Very well done.

Look on the bright side, not taking Slater possibly means that La'el and Tyron must be doing well.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Great player on the field.

Good value in trade down, despite helping NFC East foe get their guy.

Attitude and character concerns are significant, and Jerry's enabling won't be great for him. Think combination of Dez Bryant and Jaylon Smith. Maturity issues are as bad as I've seen in a top prospect.

We have approx. $17M in 20201 cap room tied up in 3 LBs and the NFL is no longer a 3-LB league, so flies in the face of Cowboys claiming they are "heavy into analytics".

Again, in the field, this kid is a monster. His presence also lays the groundwork to easily move on from Jaylon and LVE after this year.

Have to nail pick 44, desperately need a CB.

Or this team mistakenly believes they are. They have for years now with Smith. How has that worked out?

 

[kskboys]

Absolute and utter steal. Perennial pro bowler. Best D player on the field.

And they could cut Smith or not extend LVE's option...

teams can just throw deep balls every other play and he won't matter.

It forces one to answer the question:

Who’s the bust?

Who’s the player they wasted significant investment in?

#34 overall pick Jaylon Smith? He of the huge second contract?

2018 1st round pick Leighton Vander Esch?

Or Parsons himself?

Which of these three huge investments is not on the field enough to justify the cost?

It’s going to be one of them because this league no longer plays a game where you line up three linebackers a large percentage of the time.

And I don’t even have to mention Keanu Neal fo I? Reportedly set to play weak side linebacker?

So the Cowboys can NEVER get the return on investment from what they’ve put into the position.

I don’t hate the player, I hate poor decision making.

Yeah but if they run 23 personnel against us, we'll have an answer for them.

Teams do that right??

 

[Stash]

And they could cut Smith or not extend LVE's option...

Which makes one of them a HUGE BUST.

Great.

Easy answer here...it's moving on from Jaylon or LVE.

Every team misses on picks...let's move along.

Yup. This is a great pick. IF we build the DLine w/ the rest of it. If not, it doesn't matter. As usual.
