We can all thank the offensive player hype and we can thank parsons for opting out a year. That was the big reason he dropped. It was a gift. He should have been a top 3 pick and clear #1 defensive player in the draft. Then we can thank last years train wreck that we even had a shot.
As a Penn State alumnus, I totally agree. Parsons opting out last year totally cost him a top 10 selection. After a dominating performance against Memphis in the Jan 1 2020 Cotton Bowl, he was due to have a monsterous 2020 season.
I may have been biased, but I always felt Parsons would have more of an impact on this defense than Horn or Sertain. After all, a better pash rush is one often forgotten component that makes the secondary better, even without much of a change in personnel in the secondary.
