Fan reaction seems mixed, mostly because they have a few TEs on the roster already.

I guarantee you Seahawks fans wanted UW TE Hunter Bryant, still available late in 6th round, over Parkinson.

I'm sure they did, but Bryant is an awkward prospect. A "TE" who is really more like a husky slot receiver. 6'2" 240, too short to be a TE and not super fast. Can't block very well. He's a pretty good route runner though, and did well vs. smaller college nickel/CBs and slower college LBs as a pure receiver but that was pretty much it. Likely UDFA for a reason with 6 draft picks left.

Funnily enough, he had by far his worst game of the season against Stanford. 1 catch for 8 yards.

There are always "surprising" UDFAs every season. Quenton Meeks was a good example; many had him mocked in the 3rd-4th round.
