Gilmore is basically a 1 yr rental. Draft isn't just about year 1, you draft Forbes to become a full time starter in 2024. This yr he would play in the sub-packages and provide depth if one of the top starters goes down.
That would be something to watch. Might give up some plays, but teams will be very hesitant to test them.
Liked Mayock on NFL Network and Senior Bowl coverage but he was awful as GM. Missed on so many early guys and drafting Ruggs was just dumb as I said long before he wrecked that car.
Oakland / Las Vegas Raiders[edit]
On December 31, 2018, Mayock was hired to be the general manager of the Oakland Raiders.[13] One of Mayock's first splashes as general manager was trading for embittered Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. In his first draft with the team, Mayock used the team's three first-round picks on Clelin Ferrell, Josh Jacobs, and Johnathan Abram. Mayock was involved in a heated verbal exchange with Brown during a practice session prior to the start of the 2019 NFL season, in which Brown insulted Mayock as a "cracker". The altercation allegedly stemmed from an Instagram post in which Brown displayed a letter from Mayock that detailed approximately $54,000 in fines for absences during training camp, which led to Brown being released and eventually signing with the New England Patriots.[14]
On January 17, 2022, Mayock was fired by the Raiders after the team's first playoff game since 2016. The Raiders' overall record with Mayock was 25–24 in the regular season and 0–1 in the playoffs. Some of the Raiders' best picks during Mayock's tenure came after Round 1 including Trayvon Mullen (who was traded for a 7th round pick in 2022[15]), Maxx Crosby, and Hunter Renfrow in 2019—and Divine Deablo and Nate Hobbs in 2021.[16] None of Mayock's first round picks in the 2020 and 2021 NFL drafts (Henry Ruggs, Damon Arnette, and Alex Leatherwood) lasted a little more than a year with the team.[17] Mayock has claimed he was fired, in part, for his belief that Rich Bisaccia should have been retained as head coach.[18]
I am very much hoping Forbes get drafted before 26.
Since when do teams draft like that in round 1? Seriously
All the time. 5 year option is huge for cap purposes.
Forbes isn't like Diggs as a tackler, he will actually try. Weatherspoon who is this year's top corner weighs 175, yet nobody questions he lack of weight. If the team feels he can get to 175-180, he will be fine.
Witherspoon isn't the top CB on most boards. Dallas' own Christian Gonzales is.
When has a cb been drafted in round 1 as a potential back up? Any team. I'm curious
You are right. Highly doubt this team drafts a backup CB in the first round. They want their first round pick to make an immediate impact
you are looking at Kelvin Joseph as the starter if one of the top 3 get hurt.we need to draft a CB with talent.
I doubt anybody can show me when this ever happened. Not saying it can't, but I don't recall it happening in the past. Since when did dallas become trendsetters?
Id be all for Forbes at 26. With that said, this team isnt drafting anybody in the first round that doesnt have a starting spot waiting for them.
Not every 1st rd pick is a plug and play starter. You see plenty of late 1st rd corners don't start right away.
ordinarly i would agree but you have to look to the future.after this season our CB depth chart is really bad.If Diggs continues his Ole ways i wouldnt bother re-signing him at all.
Witherspoon is in contention to become the #1 CB drafted, he is the better player now over Gonzalez. If teams were so concerned about Forbes lack of weight, why is he such a hot name right now? He is a terrific player with elite traits, outside of being real skinny. Teams must believe they can add enough weight onto his frame to be successful. His college production was elite in the SEC.
Can you name 1 in the past few years?
