TJ Parker: Cowboys' Top First-Round Gem

0:00For the NFL, it's March 19. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. TJ Parker stands out as the most talked about and divisive prospect from Clemson in this year's NFL Draft Class. Analyst Daniel Jeremiah slots him 20th overall to the Dallas Cowboys in his latest mock draft. This projection ties into a trade scenario where the Cowboys swap Micah Parsons to Green Bay. Parker's impressive showing at the senior bowl has boosted his stock big time. Fans and scouts see him meshing well next to recent Cowboys editions, Rashon Gary and Quinn and Williams on the defensive line. Dallas features a brand new defensive coordinator, a second year head coach and a rebuild front four leaving some questions about his exact role. That said, Parker's versatility at the offensive end works in both 3-4 and 4-3 schemes, hitting perfectly as Dallas leans 3-4 most. Snaps, marking him as a top first round gem for them.
