However, I think that McBride is very close to Parker in terms of his catch radius and he's better off the line and on his breaks.

If La'el Collins isn't there, I'm inclined to take a freak in the first versus just a "good player at a position of need."

Check out Cosell's eval of Parker:

Based on tape study, NFL Films' Greg Cosell envisions Louisville WR DeVante Parker as a "complementary" Michael Crabtree-type receiver in the pros, as opposed to a true No. 1 wideout.
Cosell believes Parker is "not really vertically explosive" and more of a "short-to-intermediate receiver" who presumably may need offensive scheme to threaten downfield. "DeVante Parker to me is probably a second-tier wide receiver in the NFL, not a lead dog," said Cosell. Parker ran forty times of 4.45 and 4.50 at the Combine. He measured in at 6-foot-3 and 209 pounds.
