FORBES OT/OG
-
It's easy to imagine him at tackle - he showed lateral movement to pull very quickly - very smart, very tough, even
mean every play, blocking a guy right into the ground, and he can go downfield with the rest of the players on the field...
a steal, I think. These Browns leave no stone unturned, and they know the qualities they are looking for are the right qualities.

I don't get the head ducked when trying to land his initial strike... Appears to be an ok bender at the knees. Sometimes has his weight too far out in front of him in pass pro sets though. Raw tools to be coached up are there.

Think he probably needs to move inside like Bitonio and Corbett?

Putting your head down is a mechanism to focus power. I would liken it to a baseball or fastpitch player putting their head down to focus on hitting a pitch, and l’m sure every Olineman does it when needed to fend off a bull rush or other power play. Are you saying he does it too early? And perhaps that mitigates his ability to disengage and reengage on stunts or delayed blitzes?

That clip was a very limited sample size designed to make Forbes look as good as possible, but it looked to me like he has the quicks to stay at Tackle. I mean, they basically used him as a pulling Tackle. You don’t really see much of that in the NFL. So l doubt there will be many designed plays where he’s sweeping behind the line to pick up a block on the other side of Center, but it’s a good asset to have.

Looks like it, measurements would indicate that as well.

I mean he does it as he's landing his strike and it's almost like his head titles forward and eyes drop. So.... that's not ideal.

The norm is we keep 8 lineman on the 53..Kush & Lamm should make 7. The squeeze is on Harrison/Witzmann. and neither guys game tape looks that great imo. Lamm is a good swing tackle pick-up..Buys time to get Forbes coached up.. He'll be the first to tell you, he needs pro coaching and sounds coachable. Loads of more film out there now of Forbes..He does have some of the same habits, from tape to tape to get coached out of..most rooks do..He will get his chance..Sometimes that's all it takes

I like this guy. The frontrunner for my new favorite player.

His 32 5/8" arms will push him inside. His quickness and agility could move him to center.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -
Well we do have such a thing as Practice Squad. Seems the ideal place to develop a late round OL draft choice without wasting a 53 spot.

Tell ya what, having a center with quicks that can pull is a rare gift and let's you get pretty creative up front.

regardless of my imagination, the depth chart at Ourlads shows him backing up Joel Bitonio, which is very cool.

Prospect X revealed ...... drafts biggest sleeper

At least he wasn't prospect XX.

Player X rated #105 of the top 150 players of the NFL Draft, according to the article. Not bad in the sixth.
The Browns killed this draft.
Odel Beckham Jr.
Greedy Williams
Sione Takitaki
Sheldrick Redwine
Mack Wilson
Drew Forbes
Plus, many of the UDFA that we signed could have decided to come here to play with us over other teams. Many chances at getting a steal there as well.

" Browns area scout Colton Chapple caught his attention at lunch after his pro day, when he told X that Cleveland doesn’t necessarily think he has to move to guard at the next level, they might give him a chance to develop at tackle—the Browns were the only team to tell him that. "
Well, I said I easily imagine him being able to play tackle. Seems I'm alone. "short arms, move to OG..." ???
Arms an INCH shorter? Seriously? I'd rather have that, with very quick feet and excellent balance and power, and work ethic and LOVE for the game....than a guy with a bit sluggish feet and balance, with real long arms.
BTW, Forbes' arm length is 32 3/4 ". Guess whose arm length was 33 3/4 " ?

I admire this guy - he will work himself into success with the Browns. I hope Joe Thomas gets to come and work with him.

2" of "wingspan" is a big difference, cal... and wingspan is the better measure, IMO.
This kid flew under my radar, but the 10 split and 3-cone times are impressive for a 300+ OL...

don't be surprised if he starts at RT in the near future.
