“The Giants are hoping another team takes him,” a talent evaluator with another NFL team told The Post, “so they don’t have to decide.”
On the flip side however...
“There’s some [concern] because he comes off like Odell Beckham with high-maintenance stuff — like a quarterback playing linebacker,” one NFL scout said. “But I’m not worried about Parsons like I was worried about Baker.
“He’s going to be a rock star, like an LT. He’s going to play early, he’s going to have success, he’s going to be sitting court-side. Nothing is going to stand in the way of football for Micah. The red flags aren’t enough to deter you from drafting him.”
I think he'll be available at 11, but-as that scout mentioned-I gotta imagine the Giants don't want a Baker redux, though again I don't recall a ton of pre draft chatter about Deandre's character.

I leaning towards this being the pick if he is available. Been a long time having a LB that scared teams.
Good numbers,yeah,but on the field? He's got ways to go.
It was a great thread.
Micah is my hopeful selection.
That would make sense for what is bound to be a huge investment
Imagine taking two first round linebackers out of the same school which is known as LB U. Lamar would be so proud
They probably can’t stand each other. Makes it perfect to put them together on this defense.
He is the third best player in this draft behind Pitts, and Lawrence.
LT off the field - I don't think even LT would say that is a good idea.
So, the Giants will either stay away or run to put in pick....it is pretty simple.
The kid has a big Ego and some anger issue....but no doubt he is talented and will fit Graham defense perfectly.....
IF....the Giants give their ok and select him....he will elevate this defense to elite status imo....no longer will QB have any time to work a WR open.....and no RB will get to the outside....he is the final piece.
Only if....he gets the thumbs up from people who know him best

Parsons is the speed player we need for the front 7. The draft has WR and OL in rounds 2 and 3 that will present good value.
....at least not yet.
I would be surprised if he can manhandle OL like LT did.
But speed, elusiveness...is probably better...and he is very strong.....just not LT strong.
I would be happy with half an LT
If they pick him, I'll be happy because he would definitely improve the defense and I'd feel pretty confident that the Giants did their homework on him. He looks like a star to me.
Odd.
Exactly. There's not a whole lot more here. The team will have a full assessment of his risks.
