The Dallas Cowboys drafted Micah Parsons using a familiar strategy

Day one of the 2021 NFL Draft ended with many moving pieces as per usual. This time around, the Dallas Cowboys were part of the moving pieces. It was a small move for the team to draft linebacker Micah Parsons and get an extra draft pick.

The Cowboys are known for drafting the best player available rather than a player of positional need. We have seen it in full effect recently with the selections of Parsons this year, wideout CeeDee Lamb last year, and offensive guard Zack Martin in 2014.
