It goes both ways. You could easily say "I'd take Tyron Smiths blindside replacement for the next decade over him" and it doesn't sound any better or any worst.
Especially since half this forum has a meltdown when Tyron can't play since he's a cornerstone player (Tyrons replacement would easily be just as much of a cornerstone of a player as Parsons)
Yeah Raswhawn Slater who was picked #13 is playing LT at a fringe pro bowl level right now. Good left tackles command 22+ million a year salaries so lets be real, we wouldn't be complaining about Slater on our roster.
Claiming "uhhh you guys wanted some random tackle over Parsons" is completely downplaying the value of the position and the talent level
