Twitter: Archer: Parsons top rated defensive player on board

Some will scoff. But it’s totally believable he was the top D player on their board.

I’ll scoff.

So either he’s lying about where he was rated on their board or they were prepared to take one of the CBs, who Jerry admitted wouldn’t have been the top D player on their board.

He’s objectively the most talented defensive player in this class (albeit a weak defensive class). But had he played this year he would have been a top 5 pick.

Gives me hope they are not completely illiterate

 

[McKDaddy]

So he confirmed their ability to evaluate defensive personnel is questionable at best. Got it.

team sure loses a lot for a front office that tells the fans every year the guy they just took was the top player on their board when they picked.

something is off here. I wonder what it could be?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Is he saying when they picked or overall ahead of 2 cb’s?

 

[Big D]

I thought either Parsons or Paye were the best defenders available.

McCarthy said "speed and energy" is what they were looking for, and Parsons checks those boxes. However, I feel they hurt about those CBs being gone.

The fact they have largely sucked at hiring coaches and botch FA is what you are missing.

Lol you think Jerry wouldn’t take a lower rated player because he thought it was a higher need? Lolllll


It’s not hard to believe at all.

If/When Farley is healthy , he's easily the best defensive player in this draft class....................

Either explanation doesn’t put Jerry in the best light.

Frankly I think they are spinning this. They are peeved the two CBs went and now they have to PR the heck out of the Parsons pick.

 

[cowboys1981]

I believe it. I had him over both Horn and Surtain II

I honestly don’t care. I think Parsons was the best pick from the start.

and no one is in charge, everyone answers to best friend owner Jerry, They play a dumb brand of risk taking football etc etc etc.

 

[RS12]

If Archer didn't confirm this with Fisher, I don't believe it.

That could all be true but the issues facing the team are more about bad coaching hires and complete suckitude in FA compared to drafting.
