The Dallas Cowboys were recently projected to take an offensive lineman in an NFL Network mock draft to fill the hole left by Zack Martin. Micah Parsons’ brother, Terrence Parsons, took to social media to share his thoughts on the potential selection.
Terrence Parsons Doesn’t Want an Offensive Lineman
In a recent mock draft, NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks projected Missouri offensive lineman Armand Membou to the Cowboys at pick No. 12.
“I will spazz out,” said Terrence Parsons in response to the potential pick.

Brooks cited Martin’s retirement as the reason for the selection, as his departure leaves a major hole in the middle of Dallas’ offensive line. Filling that void in the trenches could help Dallas re-establish a run game and find more offensive balance.
However, Parsons replied to his own tweet, saying, “Nahh f**k that we don’t need a lineman.”
Parsons believes the Cowboys should instead target a wide receiver. “And y’all think we should draft a lineman? lol yes the trenches win games… but you can’t win games if you can’t score points… you NEED WEAPONS lol.”

The Cowboys ranked No. 23 in the league with a 68.2 score (D+) in PFSN’s Offense Rankings. Some of that could be blamed on Dak Prescott missing time, but the bigger issue was the lack of playmakers in the passing game.
CeeDee Lamb continued to shine, catching 101 passes for 1,194 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games, but he had little help. With defenses keying in on Lamb, the rest of the receiving corps struggled. Jalen Tolbert was second on the team with just 610 receiving yards, and no other pass catcher topped 500 yards. Defenses not being able to key-in on Lamb as the sole weapon for Dallas will be crucial for their offensive success.
If Dallas decides to prioritize weapons in Round 1, names like Tetairoa McMillan, Luther Burden III, Matthew Golden, and Emeka Egbuka could be worth monitoring. While not all of those players are projected to go as high as No. 12, Dallas could always trade back to collect draft capital and still land its preferred option.
They could also explore the tight end market, targeting someone like Tyler Warren, or make a bold move for two-way standout Travis Hunter. Any of those additions could make the offense more dynamic, especially with Prescott back healthy.Â
Dallas could go in several directions with the No. 12 pick. As always, “America’s Team” will be one to watch as the draft approaches, sitting just outside the top 10 and hoping to return to the playoffs in 2025.
