Micah Parsons Has Priceless Meltdown Over Cowboys' First-Round Draft Pick

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons is earning more than just tackles these days—he's also moonlighting as a draft analyst and, apparently, an expert in live reactions. During Thursday night's NFL Draft coverage, Parsons wore his heart on his sleeve as the picks rolled in, and let's just say, subtlety was not the game plan.

Things got dramatic early when the Carolina Panthers snatched up wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan from Arizona—a player Parsons clearly had his eye on for the Cowboys. Cameras caught Parsons absolutely gutted: face buried in his hands, followed by a pillow punch that would make any frustrated fan proud. His outburst, "That was supposed to be our pick! He was supposed to be opposite of CeeDee Lamb!" was basically every Cowboys fan in the group chat.

When it was finally time for the Cowboys to announce their own pick, the mood shift was impossible to miss. The team selected offensive lineman Tyler Booker, and Parsons' reaction? Let's just say the enthusiasm was dialed way down. He flashed a fleeting smile, shrugged, and tossed his hands up, wordlessly capturing the collective "meh" of Cowboys Nation.

After a few good-natured jabs from his Bleacher Report co-hosts, Parsons tried to rally, insisting, "Hold on! I actually am excited about the pick!" and even called Booker "a beast." But he couldn't resist adding that he just "wanted to see that on my side of the ball"—despite having just lobbied for a receiver minutes earlier. Consistency? Not so much, but hey, at least he's honest.

This isn't the first time Parsons has been less than thrilled with a Cowboys draft decision. Last year, when Dallas picked offensive lineman Tyler Guyton, Parsons' blank stare and head shake told the story for him. Safe to say, if the NFL ever needs a reality show about draft night drama, Parsons is already the star.
