It’s pretty safe to say that most Cowboys fans did not anticipate the team selecting Micah Parsons in the first round. The Cowboys management team didn’t feel that way based on what they said after the first round was over, but media and fans alike had constructed multiple scenarios that didn’t involve Parsons. From choosing a top corner, to taking an offensive lineman, to trading back and picking up a defensive back, none of the pre-draft scenarios really involved a linebacker or Parsons.
But here we stand one day after round one, and the Cowboys have selected Micah Parsons.
