Plus I'm not sure people realize how much coaching up Parsons needs. Players like him guess a lot. He really got by with his athletic ability and almost nothing else. The splash plays are there but he guesses a ton. Which again isn't unique to him and guys like him (White for example) but it's all over the place. There's some film (Idaho/Buffalo) that is just bad but the potential is there.
The real reason we would pick him is his pass rush/blitz abilities. Former rush coming into PSU and never lost that attacking mentality. I mean hes still very raw I don't think people realize just how green he is. Bill would get enticed bc he's someone who could potentially take on linemen and pressure the QB from multiple spots. He has a long way to go imo. Definitely more of a gamble when you talk about experience, what we need and he did manage to get caught up in that be. PSU was probably the biggest clown show going for a few years. No direction or conviction.
