MLB teams do not throw 1st round picks at college football players, as the Colorado Rockies did last night, unless they are sure they will sign. Clemson insiders say Parker's dad was already very close to a deal with the Rockies before the draft. It would be a shock if he played another snap of football for Clemson. The backup for Clemson is Tajh Boyd, and those who watched him this Spring say he is not ready to be an ACC starter, saying losing Parker drops Clemson from a 9-3/8-4/7-5 team to a 7-5/6-6/5-7 type team.
