Micah Parsons

Best player will likely be Jamarr Chase...but that's a whole nother' discussion.

Yeah.

I’m on team trade down. if that happens.


Chase may well be graded higher than Parsons. He may well not.

We gotta be realists though.


This last year. Lamb wasn’t just best player available. But best player available by a wide margin.

I think Chase and Parsons are fairly close in terms of talent as prospects. If Parsons is there I draft him. If not, I try to trade down.

If neither option is available I strongly consider taking Chase over someone like Farley/Surtain as I think he’s a clearly better talent. I feel like he has an incredibly high floor and an incredibly low chance of busting.

I love Farleys potential but the injuries worry me. I like Surtain but am worried about his long speed.

I dont even think those are the best two corners in the draft. Horn and Stokes are more impressive to me. Wouldnt be shocked if come draft time all 4 are even somewhat

Willie, you know I am a Dak Stan but if his agent is asking for 40 million + with this train wreck of a roster, you might as well start over with a quarterback on a 5 year rookie deal.

Assuming they were actually any good there wouldn’t be a 5 year Rookie deal. They would be demanding a new contract after 3. After seeing the team not pay Dak they would have to be a complete imbecile not to!

At 4 Parsons will likely be best player on the board and we assume bengals take Sewell. I don't see how you don't take him

 

[fishspill]

If we keep falling in the draft Zaven Collins would be a good backup plan.

Can Parsons play like the former Green Bay Linebacker Clay Mathews? He was an All-Pro defensive player of the year type for the Packers. He played outside linebacker and middle linebacker for them. If Parsons can play like him, he would be worth a top 8 selection.

Interesting comparison as their measurements are pretty similar, but I think those two are completely different players. Coming out of college matthews was looked at as a hybrid OLB/DE and that is really the role he excelled in. He played well around the LOS and was an excellent speed rusher and played the edge well. Parsons seems to be more of a true Middle backer. Fantastic sideline to sideline speed, big enough to take on OL at the second level vs the run, and athletic enough to cover TEs and RBs. What I don’t see parsons doing much is rushing the passer. Could he do it? Probably. Do I think that’s the best use of his skills? No. That’s one of the reasons you’ll see some posters speak against parsons. Is an off ball backer worth a top 10 pick? I think so, but it gets highly debated.

You just described Zaven Collins to a tee. Parsons has rush abilities but he is more of a off the ball linebacker, where Collins is a prototype hybrid one, can play anywhere

He’s one of the biggest riders and can start to become in the conversation with a strong offseason.

Yeah, I like Collins. If we win the East I believe he would be the pick at 19. I want Parsons to be Ware. I know he is not but we could use a 3/4 linebacker with Parsons ability.

I'd be absolutely shocked if Collins tests out as a similar athlete the Matthews. That's a terrible comp IMO.

Matthews ran a low 4.6 with a sub 7 second 3 cone. He was a special athlete.

Why are we looking for a 3/4 rush linebacker?

You trust Randy/Aldon? I don’t. Parsons certainly looks like a bigger and more athletic version of Matthews.

Just saying he could be a high level starter both as a rusher and as an off the ball linebacker

 

[Malhavoc]

I’ve seen comparisons of Colin’s to Anthony Barr. I don’t know that he is quite that athletic. If he tests well I could see him as a top 20 prospect. Guys that size that operate well in space are hard to find.

As a piece of the rotation I'd love to extend them...but my point is more so we should be looking at 4-3 DEs.

Who you got in mind? What you think of the Michigan defensive end, Paye.

Yea bu Collins is an off the ball LBr. He's

It's not a good class for 1st rounders at all. I'm not a fan Paye with our first pick at all...he's a boom or bust pick that is a better athlete than football player right now.

I'm coming around on Rousseau as I think he has a higher floor. He's going to give you + run defense day 1 and if he can develop a few more pass rush moves to go along with his bull rush I think he's a guy with pro bowl potential.

Other guys I"m keeping an eye on (not necessarily round 1) are J. Phillips, Ojulari and P. Jones.

I thought Collins is being viewed more as an 3-4 olb
