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.Agree when u look what we have at top end of LB and WR .. LB is a bigger need and then u think about what Cleveland and Baltimore did too us on the ground especially Browns the two best games of Burrow and lost both. We might win both with Parson
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.
