I AM NOT SAYING we should or shouldn't draft him, but I want to hear from a talent perspective if we're sitting at pick 5 or 6 and this guy is on the board it's a discussion that needs to be had.

On one hand, Parsons is a great LB prospect. He's got about everything you want in an off-ball LB.
On the other hand, many will say that an off-ball LB doesn't make as much of an impact nowadays compared to DB and pass rushers.
I think ultimately if you are going to take a LB that early, you have to have a defensive scheme that makes the LB uber important.
