Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parsons is partnering with Bleacher Report to live stream his reactions and analysis during Thursday's first round of the NFL Draft.

He is not hiding his emotions very well in the process.

At pick No. 8, the Carolina Panthers chose what many people thought was Dallas' Plan A in Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan.

Parsons must have been "Team Tet" as well, because his reaction says it all.

#Cowboys Micah Parsons was really upset the Carolina Panthers took WR Tetairoa McMillan.

“That was supposed to be our pick. He was supposed to be opposite CeeDee Lamb.”

Gut punch for Dallas.

The Cowboys' star defenseman is seen throwing his head down in disappointment after Dallas' could-be second-option receiver is taken off the board.

"I'm hurt."

"That was supposed to be our pick. He was supposed to be opposite CeeDee Lamb," Micah said.

"CeeDee! I'm sorry, brotha!"

Then ... things didn't get much better in the form of Parsons' reactions.

With the No. 12 pick, the Cowboys selected Alabama offensive guard Tyler Booker. Most fans wanted a "sexy" pick at either receiver or running back to bring an offensive spark.

While OL isn't that, it is still an important pick in building the philosophy Brian Schottenheimer envisions.

Here's Micah's reaction to the Booker pick:

Shocked? Stunned? Speechless?

Those look to be the case as Parsons heard official word of his newest teammate.

"Hold on. I am excited about this pick," Micah claimed. "This guy is a beast. And I look at him and Tyler Smith, guard on guard with Zack Martin leaving ... This is one of them picks ... I mean, wow."

You want a reaction? Go check in on Micah's brother Terrance and his absolute rant on X. There's too much to fill in here.

But spoiler: he isn't happy.

The best thing we've seen from Micah's reaction? He is motivated to face off against Booker in training camp.

Yes, we said training camp.

Little nugget here.

In the midst of talking about Tyler Booker, #Cowboys Micah Parsons said he has to get ready for practice against the o-line.

Then he was asked, “you’re showin up to camp?”

Parsons, “yeah I’ll be at camp.”

No holdout for Parsons?
