Ive been on the parsons bandwagon along with surtain. If either one we end up with we’re fortunate. I’m hoping with trades today one of them fallsI like Parsons a pretty good bit. He’s growing on me and he is a tremendous athlete who played football pretty well too.
I’d rather have Pitts or Surtain but if they’re gone, I’d be fine with Parsons. He could be a real weapon.
Carter and Jones were nowhere near the kind of prospect that Parsons is.
Carter struggled because he lacks instincts. Parsons does not. Whale of a difference.Over pursues, lack of gap integrity sounds like our current linebackers. We know he is very inexperienced in coverage. Right now he probably is a two down player and we would use him as our strong-side linebacker. In my opinion, very risky as you are drafting him for upside potential. We have seen an highly athletic player in Bruce Carter struggle. Just being athletic, doesn't mean he becomes a great football player. Add his immaturity concerns, I think he falls outside the top 10.
We just haven't seen Parsons much in coverage, it's a projection at this point. To take an off the ball linebacker at 10, he has to be a 3 down player. Add in immaturity concerns, very risky pick.Carter struggled because he lacks instincts. Parsons does not. Whale of a difference.
Why would you infer that all he has is athleticism?
