you are guessing!
the call was not made until you prove it was, wheres your proof? keep trying to get in the interworking's or the general process of peoples minds and making assumptions, doesnt make it true..
move on you know what they want you to know OK FAN... FAN behind Keyboard sitting here making wholesale assumptions as usual trying to create narratives most of which are not true, simply hyperbole by fans thinking they know what goes on over at the star..they do NOT..they let you know what they want you too..
it was reported the DC had more then general interest in Parsons at 10 before the draft we discussed it days leading up to the draft, he was on most GMs boards, most fans knew his value and all things being equal with Surtain, Horn , and Parsons outside of the nonsense about pitts and Sewell being there which we all knew would not, they were taking one of those 3 defenders as their first round choice and none would have been consolation prizes.. Cb seemed more of need so it was the obvious choice but in no way makes Parsons some guy they settled on..
IMHO and Yes opinion not facts a gut feelings
i dont believe Parsons kept them from moving to 20 as options down there were close at LB or say a guy like Barmore, Farley, or Moehrig or another LB at 20 not a big drop off all would have filled need on defense and not much of each..
this is why i feel they were NOT offered the deal for whatever reason.. sure our top 3 defenders would have been gone but those guys would have bene options and getting all that draft stock , while a tough decision it would have been considered and yet we havent heard ONE Peron with indie knowledge mention it was offered to the DC not from CHI , NY , or Dallas not one real official comment on it..
