I really am happy to admit I was way too low on him going through this process because I was so high on those Illinois DB’s and Gonzalez size and movement that I completely overlooked this guys game. So happy he’s here and that our FO made these top 2 picks I think we got amazing value in a draft class that didn’t have a ton to love. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had others above him bc of their size vs his but his playmaking ability and natural instincts can't be denied, he should make a big difference on the perimeter of our D & hopefully both he & Fuller can have some big time ints this year & either a pick 6 or two. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troublez Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I am very pleased to hear that everyone is warming up to Forbes. I was ecstatic with the pick... and then even more so with Quan Martin.... I think we will reflect fondly on this draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I follow fairly cloely but he didn't seem to pop up on the radar, Not highly touted pre draft . OR, did I just miss it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the things they were saying - were skills that I covet... and then I watched his tape.... and really liked the efficiencies in his game, i.e. anticipation and speed. Comparatively, Gonzo looked like a damn fool playing in a lesser division. It was kind of funny though, Fred Smoot was raving about his football iq, which he knew about bc he picked the kids brain for hours. But - when Forbes was drafted, someone asked him about Smoot and he said "he is a Mississippi State legend, but we've never talked." I was laughing so hard! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so too although I think everyone should be prepared that Quan Martin will most likely be our #4 CB this year/4th safety behind Fuller, Forbes & Juice at CB/Curl, DeFo/Butler at S. He’ll mostly just be a special teams guy. Edited June 17, 2023 by turtle28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forbes is still more of a ball hawk and we need that bc Juice while having great size for a CB & being great in coverage has Carlos Rogers hands. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
