Drafted by Cowboys Dallas selects LB Micah Parsons at 12

[ColeBeasley11]

The sexual assault accusation was not him, it was Gross-Matos. The hazing/assault he was accused of was suspect at best and was thrown out of court. I'm good with the player, not crazy about the selection. I'm guessing his snaps will be limited early, and a non QB player taken this high, IMO, should be an insta-starter. I hope I'm wrong, but I see them giving LVE & Smith EVERY chance to start, and Neal will see snaps at WILL, probably in most nickel pacages. Why I was in the CB draft assumption. Kids talented as all get out though, so let's hope they keep this D draft going

This is a troll right ? Parsons is instantly our best LB and won’t come off the field much. Possibly on passing downs because that’s not his strength. But he can blitz incredibly well also. Did we all watch the same team last year lol???

Jaylon, LVE and Lee all had injury issues. I hope this guy isnt made of glass.

I agree roc, it was no smokescreen. They were set to take Surtain till Denver upset the applecart, and like you said, THAT'S when we traded down. There was no way the Cowboys were going to pass up Surtain.

Right. I think they weighed their options and even knew of a possible risk both may be gone. Then it became let’s trade back a few and still get the guy we want.

For sure, I think this is a blessing in disguise. Just re-watch Cleveland game we need a playmaker on defence. We’re not a solid CB away like Denver.

I expect a few things.

Parsons will come right in and be probably our best talent at linebacker.

I expect for the first time in their careers Jaylon and LVE will all of a sudden be healthy. Parsons allows them to do so much it’s gonna be some bumps along the way but as of now I expect him to get some meaningful reps.

Yeah it sucks because we don’t have much resources into CB so I get the love affair with going corner early but like you said we weren’t a CB away. I came into this draft wanting safety, linebacker, defensive line, corner and tackle. So far we can cross one of those off. If we can properly trade up we can still get a day 1 starter in some of our weak spots.

Slow to react and slow to read plays,

No he isn’t. That’s one of his strengths. Do you people make up stuff just to sound like you know what you’re talking about or to fit your agenda?

 

[phildadon86]

The giants got a first...

Much bigger gap.

 

[phildadon86]

Parsons is the best defensive player in the draft.

According to the guy who knows everything it’s a trash pick. We should have taken Phillips lol. But he’s been “schooling everyone in football for years”

Agenda they wanted a CB or Slater lol

Ya we need to. We have to many picks any of Barmore, Moerhig, Samuel Jr, Campbell, all would be huge!

Dude plays hero ball. Bad reads, bad instincts. Some of the worst aspects of Jaylon Smith.

Post the film...

I see a playmaker that uses excellent technique. Go watch the Washington game. Watch how he uses his hands and sheds blocks. The big runs in that game were his teammates not covering their gaps. He plays sound fundamental defense and also happens to be a freak that can make extraordinary plays.

He also graded out as the highest run defender in 2019 but hey. Who cares lol

Parson was always on our list, was one of the targets..

now hope we use one of our 3rds with 44 and move up to get target 2 late first..

barmore Moehrig etc

Thinking the same here, we didnt lose anything to trade back a couple spot to draft Parsons, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Dallas move up with the first pick on Friday and target a player like Moehrig or Samuel.
Dont care if its a safety or corner just come away with a starting DB and we are in better shape in the secondary.
Having 4 picks on day two is very tempting for Jerry, will be very interesting how Dallas plays it Friday evening.

And of course you were RIGHT there and know the whole story...

There’s multiple articles about it, try reading and researching if that’s possible. Obviously about ten other teams had good enough concern to pass on him but I bet they didn’t know anything either.

A guy like that doesn’t slide that far for no reason but that’s incomprehensible to someone like you. Not surprised.

 

[Vinnie2u]

I know it’s not saying much....but he comes in as the most physically talented defensive player on the team. Now it’s on the team to develop him and use him appropriately.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Micah who? A LB? Phil gets a Heisman player who will shred our CBs with that trade. Not impressed. I won't be paying attention to the rest of this circus.

Carolina and Denver killed those dreams.

 

[HelioOliveira]

I like the pick, he was my nº1 LB.

 

[Denim Chicken]

I would not be surprised if they try to trade LVE now.

 

[charron]

I would not be surprised if they try to trade LVE now.

There is very little value there. If LVE is healthy and playing well you can trade him before the deadline but your still looking at a ,6th rounder.
