The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0have a lot of needs that they need to fill in the\u00a0NFL Draft. Micah Parsons particularly wanted the Jerry Jones-led front office to get someone who could share the defensive load with him. So, it was quite a surprise when they selected Tyler Booker out of the\u00a0Alabama Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n

Micah Parsons’ face could not be\u00a0painted when he heard the\u00a0Cowboys’ 12th pick of the NFL Draft. He then followed it up with\u00a0an interesting take\u00a0on the selection, via Bleacher Report.<\/p>\n

“I am excited about the pick. This guy is a beast, he is a beast… I just wanted to see that on my side of the ball. That’s it. I’m not mad at the pick,” the Cowboys star said while laughing<\/p>\n

“Micah was praying for help with their pathetic run defense,” and “Micah did not like that pick and he had to remember he was live… say what u want,” were statements that\u00a0were thrown around\u00a0while the NFL Draft was ongoing.<\/p>\n
