Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons is widely expected to be a first-round draft pick in next week’s NFL draft. Although every mock draft seems to have Parsons going somewhere in the first round, the projections for where he will land appear to vary to a good degree.
This is not too surprising, of course. After the first few picks in most NFL drafts, after a few of the obvious picks are taken off the board, things become a pretty big guessing game. Also, the closer you get to any draft, the more things change when mock draft specialists are making their final adjustments based on free agency, trades, pro-day evaluations, and more.
So, with one week to go until the first round of the NFL draft (next Thursday night), where do the mock draft gurus have Parsons going? Let’s take a look.
