43 trades in this years drafts ... most ever ... I thought it was a lot but hell I am old fart and can't remember everything.
As a person who is friends with a dude who works on Recruiting site I can 100 percent tell you 5 star just means they will more likely to start there freshman Year because there body is already ready... if you want I can send you pictures of 0 stars in year 1 at a college then in year 2 look like Hercules .. and there is also the Highschool football training rules are different in each state .. example in Kansas once Highschool football season is over you can't practice .. but some states you can still practice it's a year round thing .. and also the Portal is destroying the NFL draft moving forward most drafts will look like this one we just had but that is a whole other discussionBTW the same thing is done in college sports with the 5 star, 4 star .... crap. There are always some 5 star recruits who get handled by some 3 star recruits.
I am reminded of a guy we had that played WR and CB. Some local PG County guy that knew Norm Chow called him and said you better take a look at this kid. He got a scholarship at Hawaii and then transferred to Wisconsin where old Baltimore safety was the DC. He got two or three years in the NFL. He was not highly recruited. I can tell more stories like that but you get the point. It is just not an exact science.
for every smoot or honey badger their are 100’s even 1000’s who dont make it at those weightsThere are several examples of players who played at Forbes weight in the nfl: Honey Badger being one, fred smoot being another.
It isnt like Forbes is oblivious to his own size: he played in the SEC, and his scouting report suggests he doesnt shy away from contact (just like Freddy Smoot).
Since you cant teach instinct, and supposedly he has elite instincts, for now this picks seems solid. You can bet that opposing offenses are going to run plays his way, and shift their big wr’s his way too to see what he can do.
If dude was this weight AND had a history of injury, I would be concerned. But he missed all of one game since he took over as starter as a freshman, and he left one game due to a hand injury.for every smoot or honey badger their are 100’s even 1000’s who dont make it at those weights
but last I checked 190 lbs is heavier then 166
the last I checked. 174 lbs is heavier then 166
last I checked 6-1 is taller then 5-9 and 5-10
now we could talk about ratios and maybe you can understand that your examples aren’t any good
now can stick figure beat the odds ? Absolutely, hope he does, but that remains to be seen

Apparently you forgot kindergarten mathYou have an impressive mastery of kindergarten level math - the abiility to compare two different numbers to determine which one is larger.
I commend you!
College ain’t pro’sVery true. He was durable, played in the SEC, and produced in the SEC.
College ain’t pro’s
So does the big tenno but the SEC produces alot of pros

If Gonzales was off the board, the Forbes pick would be rated as an excellent pick. The only downside of the Forbes pick is his weight. Based on production and Talent he was rated as a Day 1 pick.Forbes is 166.
Smoot was 185.
Honeybadger was 190.
I am not against the pick but I do worry about the size.

I believe Samari Rolle was about that size, but don’t quote me.
I worry about his size too, but he missed one game in high school and college, and is one of TEN kids. This dude knows how to mix it up, without getting too hurt, having had to do it since he was young.
