If Micah Parsons slides to 16

[Syracusecards]

I say take him immediately. Our main issues on defense have been covering TE's over the middle and runs to the outside either with sweeps, pitches, or screens. Our Edge LB's are either too slow to cover ground and contain the width of the field or overrun plays (Golden and even Gardeck), which leaves either a CB or Hicks to try to get to the edge in time to make a tackle. Hicks is too slow and our CB's let themselves get tied up with the WR's so they don't have to tackle. If we have Simmons and Parsons patrolling the middle, they both have the athleticism and speed to get to the edge and shut down the play before it gets going. I doubt he slides this far but some mock drafts show him sliding so who knows. Thoughts?

 

[BleedRed]

I agree 100%.

 

[DVontel]

Hope not.

 

[Syracusecards]

Hope not.

do you think he’s not good or you would just rather have someone else? I admit I’m not a guru on this guy but from what I’ve seen and read, seems like he could help the D right away.

 

[neojdc]

Take him if he's there but don't forget Keim is our GM. Im expecting a bust!!!

 

[juza76]

No fortunately BPA+Value pick(position of need) Offensive lineman/cb/wr

Seen lots of mocks with many different guys being drafted by the Cardinals but Parsons wasn’t one of them. Usually gone by 16. But who knows.....

If he somehow fell I would be ecstatic but only because someone will want to trade up for him. Something like #16 (1000) for #25 (720), #33 (260), and #170 (22) is ideal

This.

I saw Parsons up close in Harrisburg and he's an absolute freak. Best HS player from the area since Chase actually, but I hope he goes earlier and someone else drops.

Plus..... The odds are in favor of it. He's a top 13 guy for sure IMO.

If you were that impressed with him, why wouldn’t you want him for our D?

 

[Chopper0080]

Hope not.

the only justification in my mind is if you put him out on the EDGE.

 

[football karma]

would rather have Zaven Collins

Off the ball linebackers can be found in the 2nd-4th round area with regularity. Don't keep making the mistake of taking ILBs over and over in the 1st round! If the Cardinals did this, this would be the THIRD time that the Cardinals drafted an off the ball linebacker under Keim.

I actually would be more interested if he was the best HS player from Texas or Florida... just yanking your chain lol

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

Don't think he would get passed Belichick, nor would Pitts. Belichick would be scratching his head over which to take if both of them were there for him.

1:30pm: Oops, nevermind. Pats just signed Jonnu Smith for big money.

Definitely we need more picks, being at 16 u don't have a no miss prospect, trading down 10 spots and u can still get a good player, really deep class considering our needs

When have the Cards ever traded down?

Bryant Johnson/Calvin Pace instead of T-Sizzle. Still hurts to this day.

 

[cardsfanmd]

When have the Cards ever traded down?

Lots of times? Off the tip of my head, Deonne Buccanon, Bryant Johnson, Wadsworth/David Boston, LJ Shelton.
