2021 NFL Draft: Trevor Lawrence to Giants, big QB trades in mock draft
LB. player. 5. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Penn State. Micah Parsons. 60
The Minnesota Vikings are one of the most disappointing 1-4 teams in the NFL right now, and as crazy as it sounds, this team is not far off from blowing things up at head coach and quarterback.
Kirk Cousins has been falling out of favor in Minnesota and Mike Zimmer’s expectations were clear when the team signed Cousins — get the winning started promptly.
The Vikings have done a bit of reloading on defense, and they need some playmakers at the linebacker position.
Micah Parsons to the rescue.
Parsons is such a tremendous athlete at the linebacker position who plays at top speed at all times, and can absolutely wreck games in a variety of ways.
The Vikings covered a huge need by trading for Yannick Ngakoue, but adding Parsons could get their defense back to an elite level sooner than later.
