Parcells unwilling to label Luck top pick in April's draft

Bill Parcells isn't riding the Andrew Luck bandwagon. Not yet.

For some time, the Stanford quarterback has been viewed as the undisputable top prize in April's draft, but Parcells -- never one to overvalue passers -- says it's way too early to anoint Luck.

"Anyone who says that this guy is the hands down, Heisman Trophy winner or the first pick in the draft right now, I don't think they know what they are talking about," the decorated former coach told ESPN Radio, via The Palm Beach Post. "There's not been enough work done yet."

it is possible he might not be; should have come out last year; he would have been top pick for sure. Honestly, I am not that impressed.

....and who would replace him as the #1 overall in this draft?

Parcells is the same guy that brought in Bledsoe and Testaverde.

In related news, Parcells is still convinced Marcus Spears would have made a better pick at #11 over DeMarcus Ware.

You should be. Luck is the most polished QB I have seen since Peyton Manning.

I want his teammate David DeCastro in the 1st.

well the first one was luck - Norwood missed a field goal

ok an Bill Belichick was not there to help with big Bill with his draft picks on D on 87 team ?

I have no idea who his OC was but he knew how to pick them

big Bill is a worst drafter than I am - he can not see potential

Someone who impresses burm more.

How much credit does Parcells deserve for those guys becoming Giants? Parcells was not the head coach at the time some of those players like Phil Simms and Lawrence Taylor became Giants. Also, George Young has traditionally been given the credit for building that team as the GM. I bet Parcells had some input even as an assistant coach in getting a few of those players. I doubt he had any input in getting Simms. He and Phil both joined the Giants in 1979.

Based on Parcells own comment that he wasn't allowed to shop for the groceries how much credit does he deserve for the players drafted by the Patriots while he was head coach? It is an interesting question. I am sure he had some influence as the head coach during his time in New England, but not having full personnel decisions is the reason he left. He didn't want Terry Glenn.

depends on the owner/GM. Some listen a lot; some not at all to the coaches.
Terry Glenn was someone I would not have drafted based on how he looked in college; he became a pro while under BP (mind games worked there).
