Who would you take - Micah Parsons versus Nick Bosa?
Would you rather have Micah Parsons (No. 6) or Nick Bosa (No. 9)?
The consensus is Bosa, who secured NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors after an 18½-sack season. “He finds a way to make winning, game-changing plays seemingly every week,” an NFC exec said.
For the sake of roster building, Parsons has an edge in a few areas: He is younger (24, while Bosa is 25), has a more affordable contract (entering the third year of his rookie deal, while Bosa is holding out for an extension) and might have the higher ceiling/trajectory following two All-Pro first-team selections and back-to-back second-place finishes in the Defensive Player of the Year race through just two seasons.
