Relax guys, it’s April. I tentatively agree with this. Mostly because NFL drafts are an absolute crapshoot and this FO has actually done pretty well in the drafts. I SHOULD trust them. I just wish we'd pay attention to the OL ... a little bit. Now if we draft Bergeron at #47 and then somehow get a Stromberg at #97 I will totally change my tune lol Edited April 28, 2023 by JamesMadisonSkins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okapi p4pi Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Man, I'm not going to lie I was disappointed I wanted Christian Gonzalez like most of us. However, I don't evaluate players so what do I know lol, I will say Devonta Smith is skinny and he can play. Desean Jackson was small and skinny too, and I remember Dominique Rodgers Cromartie being skinny and he played pretty well.... time will tell.

Voice_of_Reason Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I want to be clear about this: I don’t have a problem with the a tusk player and he could be really good. And I don’t give a crap if Thor effing Nystrom says it’s a reach because he had him graded as the 22nd pick. I don’t give a damn about that crap I am super pissed the ignored (again) the more important side of the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Rivera's getting a lot of heat here, but he did draft defensive backs Curl and Forrest. While those guys are safety and Forbes is a corner, maybe there's some correlation and crossover between evaluating the two positions for him. He did also draft BSJ who's good when he's on the field. Dunno, I'm just spitballin here. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sanders was about as big as a ****ing ****roach but was an amazing DB. Forbes has all the skill you could want in the position, just has to bulk up a bit. I know Rivera gets his detractors, but I am quite sure he and his team knows this and will ensure it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDawg Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 I think some folks complaining about the pick in its entirety haven’t watched Forbes play. They’ve seen his weight and jumped to a logical conclusion. The guy is way too small. And guys that small struggle to survive in the NFL. For that reason I didn’t like the strategy of the pick. But he has some very good film. He is always on the ball, doesn’t lose his guy very often, quick feet and aggressive for his size. He is a very good player. If he was 6-2 205 and the same athleticism he’d be CB1. And it wouldn’t be close. But he’s not. And that leads to valid questions. But if he holds up he’s going to be really good for us. He wasn’t my BPA. So, I wouldn’t have taken him at 16. But the size was why. If he overcomes that, the sky is the limit. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
