Rebuild for a LB? 2021 Mock

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.

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.

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.

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

    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those. 
    • This is the right move even if you think Bryce isn't the future. Everything except signing him to a long term deal until proven otherwise. There's a decent chance we have a shot to draft a QB next year that we like. 
    • If we're still bad enough that Canales gets fired, especially if it's during the season, there is no way we could ever attract any HC worthy of the job if we told them they had to keep Bryce their first year. That would be 2 coaches he's gotten fired and 4 years of not performing up to par. I still say replace both of them next offseason.  I like Canales the man and I think he's done an absolutely outstanding job at fixing our locker room issues, as it was really bad before he showed up.  But I just don't see it from him with his in game decision making, I think he's held us back just as much as Bryce has, just in different ways. Canales was our Dan Campbell, the coach you hire to turn the franchises culture around for the HC after them to inherit and take to the next level.   The difference was he had some elite coordinators early on and really let him focus on his "leader of men" role as opposed to the X's and O's that Canales does himself and it's turned out well for him.
