Colin Cowherd argues that the trade of Micah Parsons was overblown, stating that while Parsons is a great player, Dallas is now deeper, more athletic, and more flexible. He contends that outside of a quarterback or a player like Saquon Barkley, few players are worth more than a first-round pick, and Parsons, despite his talent, has limitations against the run and in coverage.
