NFL Draft Thread

I know Fuller is getting old and expensive, so Forbes was a little bit of a need reach.
At 16 and who was left on the board, I liked CB Christian Gonzalez better, 4.38 speed and true corner. Gonzalez was rated by many as top 10 pick in this draft that dropped in someone’s lap at 17. That is great value even if you already have corners. Corners are a valuable commodity in the NFL you can trade later.
I fear Forbes at 166 pounds, in the nfl could be become a “not fast enough to be a corner and not big enough to be a safety.
He is slot CB picked at 17. He better become the best slot corner ever.

Forbes clocked 4.35 at the combine, and aside from his weight is considered by many as being elite. As for his weight, he played three seasons in the SEC without missing a game due to injury. He is not a slot corner.

I think Ron has become too obsessed with position flex. Not every guy needs to have multiple positions if he is very good at one. I think that is why they passed on the likes of Torrence and Schmidtz

Seems that way to me, too.

In this violent sport, position flex is pretty valuable, especially on the O-line. If I have two players I like similarly and one can play G and C, but the other one can only play one of those positions - I'm taking the more versatile guy all day.

I guess you told him! Personally, I'm too upset about Harry not getting to stand on the balcony in uniform to think much about the draft.
