Perfect for slot type WR

Wow impressive stuff. Yes eager to see what he can do. I could see him being an Adam Peters home run selection in a later round.

I don't care about 40 times at all, as long as he catches the ball with minimal drops and collects first downs and touchdowns like they're going out of style. And his blocking gotta be good too. If he ran 4.6 but did all that I'd love the pick.

I think there is a disconnect as people think speed means separation. Freaks like desean Jax and t hill…of course it’s the speed, but most successful WR use technique and route running to gain separation.

it's a mix for sure - most straight track guys don't do super well. Usually WRs need a move/fake or some quick change of direction to be really successful.

I also like the fact that Luke McCaffrey is 6'2". We need taller wrs as Terry and Dotson aren't super tall although both talented. Ed McCaffrey was a pretty darn good NFL receiver for a long time. Cannot hurt at all. Interested to see what Luke can do here.

Looks like Forbes has dropped behind Mike Davis and is running with the 2s. My unpopular prediction for camp is that Forbes is traded if we're lucky and cut if we're not.

We don't have enough decent CBs to give up on a 1st pick so quickly. He needs some good coaching and confidence before we can see what he will become.
More likely Mathis, Davis, Forrest, Brown and Butler are traded/cut as they appear surplus to needs. Not that any of them will fetch much beyond a late round pick swap.

All those guys are ahead of Forbes at this point. If the choice is any of those guys or Forbes, Forbes will be cut.

I'm not sure Forbes is in danger of being cut given the lack of depth at the position. As for Daniels he is the reason I will be pumped on opening day. I pray, well I don't actually pray about anything, but my fear he is hurt early and we won't know what we have as we watch our season go down the drain in September. Please do not let this happen football Gods, we deserve this one.

Forbes won't be cut because he's a 2nd year first round corner on a rookie contract. Somebody will give up a late round pick for him. He also didn't look completely horrible last year so it's way too early to give up on him.

I felt that Forbes would need to significantly bulk up in the off-season to have any chance of starting or even making the team. From the photos I've seen of him at camp he hasn't done so. Also, this new football organization doesn't have any obligation to keep him, so I think they may not.

[Chief X_Phackter]

Forbes will be just fine. No chance he's cut. Running with the 2s, 3s, 1s...at this point in the offseason it doesn't really matter much.

His issued did not appear to be his weight His issue appeared to be he can't cover.
