Emmanuel Forbes

ANALYSIS
The 16th overall pick was a Week 1 starter, though he didn't get much playing time in the base defense, instead guarding the perimeter in nickel packages. Forbes got some unwanted attention after Eagles WR A.J. Brown dragged him around the field Week 4, with the rookie then logging just 34 defensive snaps over the next four games combined. In and out of the lineup for much of the year, Forbes handled an every-down role the final two weeks of the season but didn't exactly redeem himself. He also finished dead last in PFF run-defense grade among qualified cornerbacks, perhaps validating some of the pre-draft concerns about his lack of size (166 pounds at the combine) being a problem in the NFL. On the other hand, Forbes ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash after picking off 14 passes (six returned for TDs) in three seasons in the SEC, so a rebound in Year 2 of his professional career wouldn't exactly be a shocking. A new coaching staff in Washington can't hurt, and Forbes' status as a first-round pick should ensure he gets another chance to start.

ANALYSIS
The Mississippi product has already shown the same knack for being around the ball that led to him garnering 14 interceptions and 20 pass breakups overall across 35 college games. Keim notes that in addition to getting his hands on numerous passes, Forbes also impressed with his anticipation and his ability to adapt to both outside and inside work while often working with the first team. While the rookie's 166-pound frame is a concern from a durability standpoint, Keim adds that Forbes has consistently adapted thus far by using quickness and length to stand his ground.
