I'm no expert on draft prospects but Parsons gets very high praise and PFF even called him the best prospect since Kuechly.
I'm reminded of the mid-2010s, when the defense was night and day different depending on Lee's health and availability. That seems like the type of prospect Parsons is, and linebackers can have that kind of influence. High value corners are great and all but I think you can build a defense around a good linebacker, and I think you're more likely to keep them at the end of their first contract.
All things together he seems like an argument for BPA in the 5 to 10 range and hopefully he would be a top linebacker for the next decade. But for some reason I seem to hear much more about other prospects, notably the corners. I can certainly see the argument for a DB in the 5 to 10 range but I prefer a LB to build around.
Am I missing something? I don't know the prospects very well.
Thanks!
