Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State

I know many of you are stuck on QB, but it just makes no sense to reach on a QB when you have the second coming of Luke Kuechly in the draft.  Before anyone says its a stretch to pick him that high, we picked Luke at the exact same spot in 2012.  This guy has rare size speed combination and the abilty to diagnose a play quickly. As a bonus we have the man himself, Kuechly, to help and mentor him.  He, paired with Shaq, would instantly upgrade this defense. This guy has only scratched the surface of his potential and will be a stud MLB for the Carolina Panthers.

Parsons is a unique talent. As an off the ball linebacker Parsons is one of the best prospects to enter the NFL Draft in recent times. He fits the mold of a modern day NFL linebacker. In a league that is increasingly valuing speed, Parsons will be able to play every down in the NFL due to his ability to get sideline to sideline and run downhill. 

Parsons’ versatility to blitz, rush the passer, run stuff and play in coverage will be a dream for defensive coordinators. You can use him in a host of different ways because Parsons is able to do everything. He is an explosive athlete who has good burst and speed to be disruptive in every aspect of the game.

Parsons is extremely useful when blitzing and pursuing the passer and it is one of his best traits. He is a leader on defence who will start from day 1 in the NFL. Parsons has no where near hit his potential and his ceiling is as high as it goes. 

The linebacker also has great size for the position. At 6’2″ 244 lbs he can match up against any position and will come in particularly useful against tight ends. Parsons has a great change of direction along with good instincts and high football IQ meaning he will cause problems for opposing offenses. 

Micah Parsons is drawing comparisons to former Carolina Panther Luke Kuechly. That’s because they both share great size, production and speed. This should show the potential Parsons has. Without trying to reach too high too soon, he could be considered one of the greats at the position.

almost as useless in making our team better as the florida TE. off the ball linebackers are worth jack poo in todays nfl. the only linebackers you should be drafting top 10 are 3-4 pass rusher specialists like von miller.

I get it.  Millions of ways to do this--but I am taking Sewell or a QB.  Sewell is likely to be gone, so I would take any of the top 4 qbs.  Reach?  not if there is no real chance of getting a QB next year.  I would not be angry with Jones or Trask if we trade back or in round 2...

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
