Overview
A versatile guard prospect, Parker split time at left and right guard since his sophomore season. He started six games at left guard and six at right guard in 2008. He was a second-team All-SEC right guard in 2006 and a first-team choice on the left side in 2007. Parker once again earned second-team all-conference honors as a senior, though his overall play was disappointing. A bit out of shape after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in the offseason, Parker didn't take the next step toward progressing into a first-day pick as expected, and may have regressed. Had an arm span of 34 1/8 inches and a hand span of 10 inches at the combine.
Analysis

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
