Still good with Parsons for the #1?

[MadtownPacker]

Knowing what we know today and how last season played out would you still have given up the number one pick this year for Parsons?

The likelihood that a number #1 pick that late has even half the impact of Pardon? Not great.

The cowboys got what appears a decent DE with it. Packers now have a broken pony.

I doubt we coulda gotten him for just one #1. I was tempted to choose "still pending", but I'm confident that Parsons will prove to be worth the price.

The Packers went something like 0-5 without Parsons. In theory, that would translate to 0-16 and the #1 overall pick over an entire season without Parsons. If Love ain’t the answer, you take Mendoza. If Love needs time, you trade the pick of Vegas for a boatload of picks, including the 2nd overall pick and Maxi “The Taxi” Crosby. Then you trade a boatload of picks in ‘27 for Archibald Manning.

Then again, the draft is crapshoot. If you can acquire an extraordinary machine like Parsons, you do it.

Haha. If they would have been 0-16 without the trade, it was an incredible trade for the Packers. Maybe the best trade in the history of the NFL. Of course, that's not the case.
