His body type isn’t that much different from Sauce Gardner,  except he’s 3 inches shorter.     It was a similar concert for Sauce last year too I guess.  

Sauce is 6'3" 190. Forbes is 6'1" 165. Those are very different. 25 pounds is a big difference.

Cobie Durant is only 180 and he did just fine last year, if you can play a little outside and in the slot being smaller and lighter is not an issue.  How big was Mike Hilton at the combine what 175 or something? How big was Antoine Winfield 180?

 

It is a non issue with Forbes.  With his height and how he performed athletically, who cares if he is 166.  Eat a few cheese burgers and he will be 180.

Those guys were considerably shorter, and weighed 10-15 pounds more than Forbes. Density matters, I'd argue more than height, in terms of taking NFL hits

We shall see.  Forbes has way more ball skills than Banks and I think it will translate better into the NFL.  If you do not show ball skills in college you will not suddenly gain them in the pros.  Does not mean you would not be an excellent cover CB but one with zero to one INT a year and 3 on a good year.

What are peoples CB rankings? 

Realizing this is from a Steeler draft perspective which values more off man and zone than press man.

  1. Gonzalez
  2. Witherspoon
  3. Cam Smith
  4. Forbes
  5. Ringo
  6. Porter
  7. Philips
  8. Brents
  9. Turner
  10. Banks
  11. Garrett Williams
  12. Tomlinson
  13. Clark
  14. Kelly

It is not hard to imagine that all will be gone by the end of day 2

*****Best CB Class I've Ever Seen*****

 

*I have Ringo listed as a S, where he carries a (71) grade, for reference.

 

 

80-100 means I think you're an uberstar worthy of a top 5 pick.
75-79 means I think you are a potential all-pro worthy of a top 16 pick.
70-74 means I think you are a pro bowler worthy of a 1st round pick.
65-69 means I think you have the talent to become a starter down the road...2nd-4th round range.

60-64 means I think you're a late draft pick at best.
>60 means I think you suck.
