So, reading some of the threads here in the past couple of weeks, I see respected poster RobR is in particular high on Parker at number 6, even over Amari Cooper who Rob contends does not have as high upside as Parker (do I have that right Rob?)
Anyway, I don't think anyone doubts Parker will go high in the draft, but I note that apparently he's sitting out the Senior Bowl, and apparently a reason might be is he does not have true break-away speed, and that could be exposed at the Senior Bowl. So I guess the upshot is how high he will go will be decided by his 40 time?
So my question is this, if we are going wide-reciever at 6, and Cooper is off the board, what happens if Parker's 40 time is either just average or slow? Does it matter that much?
What about another scenario where Parker and Cooper are both on the board at 6 and both test around about the same at the Combine/pro days? RobR would take Parker, but what about the rest of you?
I guess its very early in this process, we are months away from the draft - but my feeling is Cooper may well be off the board at 6, and if Parker is slow that may well knock his draft value back to the mid-teens - his choice to avoid the Senior Bowl isn't great. However if both Cooper and Parker are both on the board and both test equally well we'll have a hell of a choice to make.
