The buzz across the draft landscape also has Micah Parsons dropping down the board. He’s an incredibly exciting prospect, but there are some refinement issues to consider, as well as questions surrounding his character.

If Parsons can pass the early tests, however, he has tremendous potential as a versatile linebacker with high-level pass rushing ability. With his elite athleticism, Parsons has the speed downhill to be a dangerous, rangy threat. He’s also tenacious, physical, and a tone setter, who could be a valuable chess piece for Vic Fangio.
