Atl_Takeover Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 We all know that the RB posistion is one of strongest if not the best class in this year draft but its one guy who ive been watching for awhile and might be one of the steals of the draft.Most scouts are questioning his 40 Time which I think is okay for a 6-2 222 pound RB.Matt Forte RB,TulaneHeight: 6-2Weight: 22240:4.55NFL Comparisons:Dorsey LevensKey Stat Line:16Car-73Yds Against LSUYouTube Video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bbaIF22NGQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott24falcs Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Yeah, I really like this guy. He would be a great 4th or 5th round pick. He's the perfect complement to Norwood IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwood32 Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 This guy is a baller. I would love for us to get him in the 5th round. His 40 Low is 4.45! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atl_Takeover Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I know the sexy pick is for us to get McFadden with our 1st round pick and I was one of those guys screaming for us to get McFadden also but what made me change my mind was the amount of money that McFadden is going to demand will be ridiculus why spend so much money. I change my pick to Jake Long or Ryan Clady. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidWest Falcon Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 In a mock I did a few days ago I had Forte going in the 3rd. I hope his 40 time does make him drop so that we can get him in the later rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimmesomo Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Either Matt Forte, Cory Boyd or Ellis Ben-Jarvis are the top late back choices... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Offseason Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 ive wanted us to get this guy for a LONG time. i think hed be a great pickup in the 4th round, and i think a forte'/norwood tandem would be a very potent one in the near future. and if we upgraded our offensive line too... look out!!

Boley59 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 forte is a really good player who will be a steal no matter where he goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isproab Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Gimmesomo (1/20/2008)Either Matt Forte, Cory Boyd or Ellis Ben-Jarvis are the top late back choices...Those guys are my top "Big" backs as well. I'm not sure about them all being considered late. I really think Boyd could move up if he runs well. However, that could be said for all of them. If they all run in the 4.50 to 4.55 range I think they are off the board at the end of round 4. I really want to see what their true speed is. Besides Mendenhall or Stewart, they would fit what we need here in ATL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange_Crush Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 trubirdfan4life (1/22/2008)what about chris johnson of east carolina....4.2 in the 40We already have the speed guy, that's not what we need. We need the "horse" to possibly carry the load and be a tough inside runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Too many people know about this guy for him to be a real sleeper.Marcus Thomas out of UTEP is a sleeper. He's going to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
