He certainly is.Am overused term
parsons is certainly not a generational talent. He has areas of his game they are still unproven and unknown
hea a fine player but hardly tthe second coming of Lawrence Taylor
Me too. I do like Surtain, and his floor appears to be high. I wouldn't complain at all if that's who we get.i love surtain.
but in this scenario...
micah parsons,lb-penn st...and its an easy pick.
Seriously - I have seen so many draft threads in here every day and someone has the gall to be forum police!This should be moved to draft zone
Ok, But I don't think your allowed to bite the defenders head off!Indeed, but Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't rely on long arms either.
Scouting report I read on Parsons was that he does not take on blocks well, does not play downhill. With our current Dline, he will get washed out on every play if that is the case.I’m with you. Surtain is so polished and started 38 straight games with big time competition, and Parsons is a game wrecker. Only worry I have with Parsons is sitting out last year.
Would fill the seats though.Ok, But I don't think your allowed to bite the defenders head off!

Reminds me of a funny: "Walt Garrison ripped through the line for a nice gain. MLB Butkus pretty much screamed at him: "Try to come through here and again and I'll bite your head off!!!"Would fill the seats though.
Slater is an OG - Sewell is a prototypical LT. We have 18 OG’s already and need Tyron’s apprentice NOW. Move Collins back to LG where he belongs and pencil Sewell in at RT until he needs to move to LT then find a true RT then.I wouldn't call it a home run but he would be a good pick that I wouldn't complain about and I respect your opinion. He is the highest rated OL in the draft and he moves extremely well for a big man but he does have some work to do on blocking technique, the ideal arm length for OT is 34" and his are 33.25" (Slater's are 1/4" shorter at 33"), and Slater was stronger at least in the bench press at their pro days with three more reps.
At LT he shut Chase Young down for the whole game. You know the WFT's number one pick who we get to face twice a year now. How did Sewell do against him? Playing LT Slater's blocking technique is very advanced.Slater is an OG - Sewell is a prototypical LT. We have 18 OG’s already and need Tyron’s apprentice NOW.

What's the source that says otherwise? Just curious.
We have 10 picks this draft. That's a great deal of draft capital. It should be used to get the exact players we need rather than waiting for whatever falls to us. We can do this and still fix other spots on the team, you suggesting I'm saying otherwise is just unwise. I think we can use Sewell as a Guard until such time that Tyron or Collins needs to be replaced at Tackle.I'm a little surprised to hear you say that.
I agree that if he slides to 10, and I do think that's possible...they have to take him and not look back, but seems like you're willing to move up for him and sacrifice improving in other spots.
Is it about not thinking Tyron can return to form, or about Sewell himself?
Doesn't matter. This franchise and its knuckle-dragger fans are addicted to offense.
Without an impact defensive player, I think we go conservative. Parson could turn out to be a dominant linebacker. But I just don't trust him on the Cowboys. I'm not convinced even if we change coaches our culture and climate is going to change. For a player like Surtain, who has been, essentially, been training to become a football player, his background may be enough to keep him on the straight and narrow and not have him succumb to the Cowboy culture.
But for a player like Parson. I just fear he's going to be another Jaylon Smith if he comes here. If he goes to a team like the Ravens, he'll be an all-pro by his second or third year.
Where a player lands makes a huge difference, and, unfortunately, I don't think the Cowboys culture is suitable to make raw players great - not unless they bring that with them.
As much as I knock Dak, he has an "IT" factor that allows him to transcend the Cowboys culture. He's a hard worker and will succeed as far as his talent will take him.
I don't have the same opinion of Zeke or anyone on the defense, except for LVE, and he's oft injured.
Sorry, but 25 years of futility has altered my perceptions of this team and its sustainability as a contender over the long haul.
Not berating at all, just discussing!!!!!! I love to banter and exchange ideas.https://BAN-INCOMING-IN-3-2-1/draft2021OLB.php
I am not a draft guru or have even watched him play. I don't do a lot of research on it either. This is just one of the sources I know of and I was just reading it yesterday so don't berate me if they are not reliable.
