Excellent news. He pushes someone out of the top 10 down to us.
IF it's a player that doesn't exactly fit what we're looking for - Downs, the DT, Simpson, or himself - we'd have a great trade chip to trade down to the lower teens / early 20's & get a really nice WR to join Puka & Adams.
I think that Forbes could fit in well as a different role player now, instead of being a starter at CB. He had 3 picks last year and was #29 of 144 CB's in the receptions allowed stat line.
Not being paired up against the opposition's top or next best receiver next season should help improve these stats.

Omar Cooper Jr.
Indiana · WR · Junior (RS)
Cooper is one of my favorite players to study in this year’s draft. He’s strong, reliable and explosive. He uses his lower-body strength to run through press coverage and he’s a loose/fluid route runner. He plays without fear in the middle of the field, making combat catches look easy. He can really pluck the ball and stays grounded through the catch on crossers. Also, he can elevate and play above the rim (SEE: game-winner against Penn State) when necessary. After the catch, he has the power to break tackles and enough speed to pull away. Sources at the school rave about his makeup and competitiveness. Overall, Cooper fits the exact model of wideouts finding immediate success in the NFL.

In addition to the 3 picks, Forbes had 18 passes defensed, which tied for 2nd in the league. We can certainly do a lot worse for a 3rd CB.

Los Angeles Rams
Round 1: No. 13 overall: Spencer Fano, OT, Utah
Round 2: No. 61 overall: Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia
I’ve had some pushback on my "Fano at 13" suggestion, and I get why, to a certain degree. The Rams don’t need to sacrifice everything to come out with a right tackle, and there has been a lot of receiver buzz there lately. But Fano is a quality athlete and blocker who some teams believe can play all five positions -- and the Rams are thin up front. Branch could be a dynamic option if he’s there, especially with Los Angeles losing Tutu Atwell in free agency and lacking big-play options lower on the depth chart.

They almost have a 100% success rate with those 1st round picks they've traded. I say almost because Cooks could arguably be called a failed trade.
