We're already calling him CB1?

Anyway, it's not as if they are locking him in at the slot, they're just giving him some reps there.

I don't know about CB-1, but honestly he better be CB-Starter. I don't care where - outside, boundary, inside, slot...whatever. He better be good enough to take someone's job. (Psst, I'm looking at you Benjamin...with your 13 missed games in the last two years...)

If we drafted a WR or a DL at No. 16, maybe I wouldn't expect him to be the No. 1 guy. I like Juste but he's always hurt and Fuller is solid but unspectacular. I don't believe Forbes was the pick if they didn't think he'd come in and be their best guy at that position.

Honestly, if St Juste were to stay healthy (BIG IF), it should be Forbes & St Juste on the outside and Fuller in the slot. Who is the "CB-1"? Don't care really. They will all have their moments...

I like Juste. He's talented and seems like a good dude. I'm pulling for him. Would be awesome for himself and us for him to play double digit games, hopefully closer to 17 than 10. Based on having real NFL experience, maybe he would be better than Forbes. Haven't seen the availability yet tho to be a possibility.

I just personally think Forbes will be our best CB Week 1.

Dude can play anywhere he is needed. I think that was what we liked about him so much. When BSJ gets injured in game 2 we can rotate him.

He'd better be. You don't draft a player in the 1st Round to be a backup.

He can be CB3, and still be a starter. Tough to expect that he'll begin the season as the #1 CB. Not sure exactly how you determine that in week 1 anyway.

Nah, first round pick, he should be leaving receivers on Forbes Island week 1.

I think you're kidding, but...

Top 5 (maybe 10) overall, perhaps. But I think those are pretty lofty expectations for a rookie CB for week 1, just because he was drafted in the 1st round. Maybe as the season progresses, or by year 2.

I am kidding.

Or not?

Nah, I am lol. I don't expect him to lock down receivers immediately. But we are woefully lacking in turnovers the last few years, I'm hoping he helps immediately in that department.

You are confusing me. I don't even know what CB1, CB2, etc. means in terms of position, if anything. All I'm saying is that he was drafted in the 1st Round and if he is a true 1st Round talent he should be starting in Game 1 at some position in the secondary. First Rounders are plugged into starting lineups right away all over the league.

Sorry you are confused. I don't really know what CB1, CB2, etc. is either. I wasn't the one who called him that or indicated he would be that, nor do I subscribe to the idea that there actually is such a thing.

I do agree that he should be a starter. I don't agree with any expectations for him to be the best DB on the field in week 1.
