Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons just couldn't believe that an already strong Philadelphia Eagles team got better on Thursday. The Eagles made a huge splash in the NFL Draft with their shocking trade to land Jalen Carter.
On Thursday, the Eagles traded up one spot to draft Carter, who surprisingly fell on the draft boards despite being arguably the best player in the class. His off-field issues and concerning performance in his pro day didn't help his value at all. But many still expected some team to select him in the top five.
For our NFL comps for the top 2023 non-QB draft prospects, listen below:
After eight teams passed on Carter, however, the Eagles saw the opportunity to pounce. They sent the No. 10 pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick to the Chicago Bears for the No. 9 selection. They then they used that pick to get the Georgia standout.
Upon seeing the Cowboys' NFC East division rival make the move, however, Parsons couldn't help but be disgusted. Not only was he shocked that several teams passed on Carter, but the star defensive tackle ended up in Philly on an Eagles squad that already boasts one of the best defenses in the NFL.
While providing his commentary in an NFL Draft show for Bleacher Report, Parsons stood up and almost walked off the set in dismay.
“I'm just so sick to my stomach right now,” Parsons said, per Bleacher Report.

Other NFL teams are probably feeling the same way. After all, the Eagles pulled off possibly the biggest heist of the NFL Draft. The team certainly got better defensively, which should make the life of their $255 million man in Jalen Hurts easier.
However, the rest of the NFL can blame no one else but the eight teams that decided Jalen Carter isn't worth their pick.
