2017 2nd round pick is Budda Baker

[Cheesebeef]

I like his name!

 

[JeffGollin]

Ran a 4.3 40 how does he get a 3 on speed?????

Me thinks the 3 was for height & weight & not speed.

I view this pick as Honey Badger insurance plus other Swiss Army Knife stuff.

 

[ThunderCard]

Really like the pick. Gave up a lot for him and Lamp was still on the board. At least we did not pick up some obscure small school guy 2 rounds early. We really need a Starting 2nd corner in the 3rd rd

Double B! Double P! Should have kept Double C!

 

[Cardiac]

Double B! Double P! Should have kept Double C!

We do still have a JJ.

Good enough player, but reaching with the trade - he who trades the least - gets the best value

 

[daves]

we could have had Hooker already on the roster

I'd be interested to evaluate the first two picks together: if (for the purposes of this evaluation) the Cardinals were determined to take an ILB and a S in the first two rounds, then how would the combination of Reddick + Baker compare to the combination of Hooker + an ILB they could've taken at 36 (McMillan)? If the depth at ILB is far less than the depth at S, that would give insight to why they took Reddick over Hooker - knowing they could get a good S in round 2.

Or, expand the evaluation to S + any other position. How does the dropoff from Hooker to Baker compare to the dropoff from Reddick to some other player available at 36.

Love the pick having 2 players that fit the Cardinals D scheme and can bounce around at diffrent positions, with the same players on the field love it!

 

[JeffGollin]

I do not know if our comp picks have been figured out, but I do not think it was a lot if they think the guy is special and any comparisons to Honey Badger is not too bad at all. This is what I love... yes we traded, but seeing the Cardinals be aggressive for a guy they believe in is something I seldom saw from this organization, I am digging this draft so far

+1.

We could have had a Hooker & a Baker in the Secondary.

Or Hooker and Cunningham, but Hooker would not be the multidimensional player that baker is.

Playmaker!!!!

I see him being moved all over the place. FS, Nickel Corner, pass rusher. So many possibilities.

^^^ Nice picture

 

[Solar7]

I wanted Kizer but I'm very happy with the pick overall, and would have loved this draft beforehand.

 

[PACardsFan]

I love this pick!! This kid is a football player. If Honey Badger stays healthy, they will be a fun duo to watch.

Cardinals started the major run on DBs. I love it. Keim has the pulse of this draft.

 

[Redneck Voodoo]

Swapping 10 spots and giving 2 4ths and a 6th is a lot for a slightly built 5'9" safety that cant catch

hahahaha but that's just me

SK definitely knew what was going on at the top of the 2nd round! He has the pulse of THIS round, at least

Instant replacement for Tony Jefferson. I like the pick!

 

[Harry]

I put more up tomorrow. Just got in. I'm kind of stunned and I need to try to understand this. The price was okay. The player is odd. He's a poor man's TM. Lots of issues with him.

Baker is more FS than SS.

 

[82CardsGrad]

Baker is more FS than SS.

We have our FS. Baker will be our new TJ. [emoji106]

I'm telling you this kid is fun to watch!

 

[Krangodnzr]

Living in WA I've been hearing this kids name for years. Very good player.

 

[CardsFan88]

We got the secondary man we wanted. Good stuff.
