2021 NFL Draft: Justin Fields tops Trevor Lawrence in QB-rich mock draft
6. Micah Parsons, LB, Penn State
LB. 6. Micah Parsons. player. 31. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Penn State
The Giants struck gold with their last first-round pick out of Penn State — Saquon Barkley.
Why not go to that well again, this time on the defensive side?
The Giants may have more pressing roster needs at this particular point in time, but by the time we get to the 2021 NFL Draft, teams are going to have a really hard time justifying passing on Micah Parsons.
This kid can do it all.
With size, speed, range, instincts, and three-down ability, Parsons is a star prospect at the linebacker if I have ever seen one.
The way he anticipates and attacks is unlike any prospect at the linebacker position I have seen since Luke Kuechly coming out of Boston College.
As a converted defensive end, there’s really no position Parsons can’t play on the defensive front where he can be effective. He’s going to make whatever team drafting him feel like they’ve got 12 defenders.
