They had several options at CB, including Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, but they went with Mississippi State’s Emmanuel Forbes. Forbes is an outlier-cornerback prospect at just 166 pounds, but he’s an outlier in ball production as well. The ultra-lean Forbes (6-foot-1, 166 pounds) was a prolific ballhawk in college, collecting 14 interceptions over his career. Emmanuel Forbes offers top-notch speed (4.35-second 40-yard dash) and height (6-foot-1), but he’s wildly undersized at 166 pounds. Oregon’s Christian Gonzalez, Penn State’s Joey Porter Jr. and a plethora of higher-rated cornerbacks were still on the board.
