Rebuild for a LB? 2021 Mock

[AU-panther]

I'm usually not a huge fan of mocks, but could you Imagine the outrage if we go through a rebuild for a LB.

Here is PFF's mock for next year, and yes it is too early and nobody expects them to be right, but if anything it will give people some names to watch during the next college football season.

I don't see the mock, but I hate just based on the description.

5. CAROLINA PANTHERS — LB MICAH PARSONS, PENN STATE

Parsons is already elite when it comes to making actual linebacker reads, which is an ability that many scouts worried about when it came to Isaiah Simmons’ evaluation. Parsons led the nation with a 94.8 run-defense grade as a sophomore. To play like a grown man at his age is special.

Way too early, but not a bad pick

[Soul Rebel]

1. Way too early (as you said)

2. PFF is way to metrics-based and IMO should be used as support but not as a bible (as you stated as well)

3. Micah Parsons is a BEAST. If everyone here loved Simmons for what he did last year, Parsons would be a no brainer. He would instantly bring a fearsome athletic Kuechly-esque MLB to our squad. 

Would not hate the selection.... same goes for Surtain II. I think 5 is our ceiling for this draft. Rhule has handled the offseason well enough to put us in position to win each week. We won't be great, but I find it hard to believe finishing inside the top 5.

At least take the wr Chase

[JawnyBlaze]

If we’re picking in the late 20s?  Sure.  Top ten???  Hayell no.

Yep, probably the most explosive linebacker you’ll see. 

I lost track of how many times I’d see him in the back field before the running back even got the ball. Dude is an absolute STUD against the run and as a pass rusher

As for the mock, I’m taking Trey Lance if things were to shake out like that

Chazz Surratt better 

[pantherj]

We get a QB in that draft or I trash the coaching staff until they leave.

[TheRumGone]

Depends on where we draft obviously. If we are top 2 or 3 we snag a top qb talent. Top 5? Draft dline or oline. Continue to build the lines while Teddy is under contract.

[LinvilleGorge]

Looks like a setup for Sam Howell in '22.

[weyco2000]

So much can change over a season, look at the way too early 2020 draft.

Glad this didn't happen...

Parsons is a stud. Would take him if all three QBs,  Chase and Penei are gone. That won’t happen
