Commanders Take Emmanuel Forbes At No. 16 Overall
2 years agoThe Washington Commanders selected Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel Forbes with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft on Thursday night. Many folks thought the Commanders might go with Kentucky quarterback Will Levis with this pick, but they chose to bolster their secondary instead. Forbes is a great pick here at 16th overall with great length and ball-hawking skills. The concern for the 22-year-old is his durability at the next level given his size (6-foot-1, 166 pounds), but he plays stronger than his size. In 36 collegiate games at Mississippi State, Forbes posted 14 interceptions and ran six of them back for touchdowns.
