I'd be fine with Parsons over anyone but Penei. Would I rather have a corner, under tackle, or edge rusher at 6? Ideally, yes. Unfortunately. I don't really see a corner or DL worth taking at 5 or 6. I think Parsons is the biggest impact player on defense that's going to be available.
Our linebackers are better than they were when they were running Brown and Vigil out there, but are they so good that you'd pass on a player like Parsons? I think Wilson has a big future ahead of him. Pratt is one-dimensional (good in coverage), and ADG is obviously still adjusting to the league. Frankly, he's been a bit of a disappointment.
I'd be fairly excited about a defense that had Reader, Parsons/Wilson, and Bell/Bates solidifying the middle. That would be a tough group to run on, and the linebackers are athletic enough to (gasp) possibly even cover TEs.
I'm not ride or die with Parsons, but I think it would be a good decision.
