Number 44 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Goes to show how far off those mock draft sites are. I typically was drafting either Forbes or Campbell with pick 47 in mocks. Both gone a round earlier in the real deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yng Lady88 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Eagles just drafted another beast for their d-line. We have a young/raw QB behind a shaky o-line. And we draft a dude with the body of a high school freshman. I saw somewhere he's up to 180 from 166 but man wasnt seeing secondary at 16, especially not that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 We need playmakers. Forbes is a playmaker with speed. He didn’t miss a game all year. I like the pick. I would’ve taken Gonzalez but I’m also an idiot. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 2 minutes ago, MartinC said: Well he’s a 4.3 guy for a start. He makes big plays - had 6 picks in 22 and took 3 of those to the house for TDs. Here is his NFL draft profile write up. Overview Forbes is long, can run and has a talent for taking the ball away, which means he has a chance to become a coveted cornerback. However, his wire-thin frame does not work in his favor. Forbes’ instincts and recognition are fun to watch. He pounces on quick-game throws and has the ball skills to take the ball away. He’s highly capable in all forms of zone coverage and operates out of press-man, but is inconsistent matching the release and staying in phase with routes through sharp cuts. His slender build and lack of tackle strength will make him a target for opposing running games. Forbes could become an early starter with quality ball production, but teams might need to expect some up-and-down performances. That seems like a fair writeup. From what I saw on ESPN, they made it sound like he's not afraid to step up and try to make a tackle on a RB so you gotta like the mentality but, I mean, he's still 166 pounds. I can't see him trying to tackle someone like Derrick Henry, he's gonna get dragged. I like the big play factor and he seems to have a nose for the ball but I'm still pretty ambivalent about this pick overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Idaho fan said: Looking forward to watching our new 160 lb. DB tackle the likes of DK Metcalf or AJ brown. A supposedly great ball hawk - hopefully he doesn't have to tackle often Im worried about his health. I don't remember when I weighed 160 lbs. I presume the NFL east WRs are going to manhandle him in their run blocking duties. This pick has ballhawk written all over it. I predict he'll be playing off LOS to avoid getting ragdolled.

Forbes and Campbell were ALWAYS there in the PFN simulator when I picked at #47 and sometimes later when I traded down into R2 more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like we did with Dotson and so many other picks we initially despised. lol We are a fickle lot and ultimately very predictable. Yeah I'm basically repeating what I said this time last year. Like the player, don't like where we took him. Poor value. But a year later, nobody cares because Dotson balled out. If Forbes is pick 6in Danny Dimes and Dak nobody will give an F. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJL Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 since some people mentioned Darrell Green I thought it might interest some that Green, who was 5'9 played at 184 lbs, 18 lbs heavier than our new 6'1 CB 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conn Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Don’t understand the impulse to reach on a position that the draft is deep in. Seems like a talented player who need to work on his body in an NFL weight program. Is he the guy you’d expect for a HC who is do or die this season? Not at all, which makes me curious about the pick at least. But definitely feels like a reach. Much worse than Dotson last year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
