SoxFan1 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Forte's got great quickness and makes great cuts. He's shown great ability to break tackles as well as find holes. His potential is up there with McFadden and Mendenhall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Here is a little snippet of what Forte looks like in action http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEfWGej1Na8 I want him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 If we got him with our new 3rd Rd pick I'd be happy. He will need to learn to stay lower as he runs through the hole or he's gonna get clotheslined a lot. I like his quick cut and burst once he gets past the initial hole. He runs well in the open field though and shows ability to make cuts at speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have doubts whether he'll be around by the time we pick in the 2nd. I would not be surprised if he is ranked no. 4 overall in the RB area by some scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjock Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I have doubts whether he'll be around by the time we pick in the 2nd. I would not be surprised if he is ranked no. 4 overall in the RB area by some scouts. There's no way he's the 4th overall RB. He's the 5th at the earliest. I can't imagine anybody would list him above McFadden, Mendenhall, Stewart & Felix Jones. ESPN actually has him ranked 9th: http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/...;draftyear=2008 What we do may depend on how quickly RB's are coming off the board. There's been speculation that McFadden & everyone else will drop. If 4 RB's have been taken when we draft in the 2nd round, we may not have much choice but to take him.

BearSox Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Felix Jones leaves a lot to be desired in his game. Played in a gimmicky offense, never carried the load, and doesn't have outstanding triangular numbers. I like Forte better, and I could see teams/scouts thinking that way as well.
