It’s never too early to start thinking about next year’s NFL draft. While we don’t know how the 2020 season will go, it’s not hard to imagine the team will need some more help on defense next offseason. With that in mind, it’s not a bad idea to use another first-round pick to help the front seven rebuild.
In a new 2021 mock by Luke Easterling at Draft Wire, he has the Carolina Panthers picking Penn State linebacker Micah Parsons at No. 6 overall.
Parsons (6-foot-3, 245 pounds) had a breakout sophomore season last year, posting five sacks and 18 tackles for a loss to go with four forced fumbles and six pass breakups.
Let’s take a look at some of his best highlights from the 2019 season.
Parsons 2019 highlights
If the Panthers are out of range to pick a top QB prospect like Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields, they could do much worse than Parsons.
