Didn’t Snyder/skins buy ES years ago? I seem to recall that going down. I signed up over there for the Bang cartoons, that and a couple people I was friends with also were there.

First Bang toon I saw was “Last call”, anyone who saw it knows the hilarity. Another classic, name escapes me, was the one parodying Gibbs/Brunell. He’s a suuuper smart guy!

Emmanuel Forbes reportedly shopped around.

The gift that keeps on giving.
Probably wrong opinion - Forbes has NFL level ability but not NFL level strength. If he can get the right coach in his ear who can convince him to hit the weight room hard, he can be a solid (not spectacular) NFL corner.

Jalen Ramsey is 6'1"
Denzel Ward is 5'11"
Marshon Lattimore is 6'0"
Forbes is 6'1"

The problem is those guys are all 190-200+. Forbes is generously listed at 180 (and is almost assuredly closer to 170 based on his 166 at the combine). As long as he's this slender, he's going to get consistently shredded by NFL wide receivers.

Having said that, terrible pick by Rivera. That's the type of guy you take a flyer on in the 2nd or 3rd round... not the second corner/DB off the board.
