I’d be happy if they picked up any of these players in the draft:
Forbes
Emmanuel Forbes is an interesting prospect and it's appropriate that he is in this draft class full of small size outliers. He has plenty of height (6' 1") and length (32 1/4" arms), great athleticism (9.32 RAS), very tough attitude and is the best ballhawk in the draft. Some of that is guessing, but he guessed well in college.
He's also a historically skinny outlier at just 166 lbs. That's the 0th percentile for weight amongst corners, and he is the 2nd lightest corner to be weighed in the last 25 years. The comps for people around his weight aren't good, and even up to about 175lbs you find very few players who worked out.
Antoine Winfield Sr was 176lbs at the combine and had a great career, but he bulked up in the NFL and his playing weight was in the 180lbs.
I don't think you can take Forbes in the first 50 picks or so. That's just too much risk gambling on a fence post physical profile that has never worked before. However, if he does fall far enough then he becomes a very intriguing day 2 pick and perhaps a steal in round 3 where you can take that kind of gamble that your staff can do what an SEC weight room and program didn't.
