That guy is a top 100 pick in my book, easy. Probably better honestly. He doesn’t have overwhelming college production, but other than that, there’s a lot to love. Explosive plays, deep speed, great feet, easy acceleration, can track the ball in the air. Not always the most consistent route runner, but does have routes that make you go “whoa”. Was used all over the formation at Ole Miss, so versatile. You can manufacture touches for him while he learns the position. Very good blocker. 9.97 RAS. I will not be shocked at all if he becomes on of the better WRs from this class. We’ll see how the final visit list shakes out, but interesting that we have 4 potential round 1-2 WRs, but no TEs. They might be thinking what we are all thinking when it comes to letting Ferguson and Hendershot ride. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7188 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) I think the Cowboys have locked into Emmanuel Forbes as their pick at 26. I originally thought he would be a bit of a reach at 26, but not anymore. Gilmore is a stopgap and probably not in the Cowboys long term plans. The team also loves Bland in the slot and shouldn’t want to move him. Drafting Forbes gives them another fast, ball hawking corner who can learn from Gilmore and eventually take over opposite of Diggs. It makes a lot of sense to me. My biggest concern with Forbes is injuries due to his weight. Can you imagine him trying to tackle a prime Derrick Henry/Zeke running full speed at him? It’ll be Mike Jenkins all over again.

Which is why I didn’t think Mayer was worth 26. We have quality depth there. As much as I don’t like drafting RBs in the top 5, I think the value of Bijan at 26 is huge as he protects our average QB. Personally, I’m locked in on Kancey and I hope he makes it to us at 26. We haven’t had a player with his athleticism at DT in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philly hasn’t selected a RB in the first round of the draft since Keith Byars in 1986. They don’t value that position with high picks. Just look at the RB position it's just like the Cowboys bridge contracts @ #10 it would be an OK position to pick the best rated RB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 The Eagles have shown some pretty aggressive interest for Bijan, and likely assume it would take a 1st round pick to get him. Just google who has official visits with Bijan and you’ll get a litany of Eagles articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wonder if the all the retrograde “run the damn ball” stuff from McCarthy was a bit disingenuous. You look at his draft trends with GB and that team was always loading and reloading up at WR- albeit more on Day 2 than Day 1. I just hope there’s cohesion between the team building and the game planning I would also take this as a sign that they’ve more or less written off Tolbert internally. Leaving very little room for a surprise breakout there if you add another Top 100 (esp. Top 60) pick to the mix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also am okay with WR but for some reason Flowers and Mingo don’t really do it for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
