2017 2nd round pick is Budda Baker

[BullheadCardFan]

Do you think this was worth trading up for?

We gave up a lot to move up.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

He's only 5'9".

I like him.. was a pretty good haul to give away though

Great in man coverage, fast enough to keep up with slot WRs, great tackler. Good pick IMO.

 

[BullheadCardFan]

Cards must really like this guy

 

[Dr. Jones]

Gave up way too much to replace Tony Jefferson.

 

[Shaggy]

They gave up alot but he looks like a great safety!

 

[Shane]

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

I like budda baker

This guy will be fantastic slot corner, and will free up Badger to do what Badger does and roam the field. Doesn't solve our "opposite corner from PP" need though.

YESSSSSS!

He has been my 2nd round pick for the Cardinals forever!

I'm so excited with this pick!!!!!!!

I agree. Seems like a lot. Especially in a draft deep in S and CB

Smacks of desperation

Yesterday people were throwing fits because we didn't make any aggressive moves. Now we do make an aggressive move for a guy that has been high up on their list for a long time and people are throwing fits about that.

lol

Overall Football Traits
Production 1
Height-Weight-Speed 3
Durability 2
Intangibles 2
1= EXCEPTIONAL2= ABOVE AVERAGE3= AVERAGE4= BELOW AVERAGE5= MARGINAL

Safety Specific Skills


Instincts/Recognition 1 Excellent instincts in zone coverage and in run support. Fast eyes. Consistently diagnoses plays early and always seems to be around the ball.

Cover Skills 2 Lack of size could be an issue versus bigger WRs/TE's in the NFL, but rarely had trouble matching up one-on-one in college. Very good range in zone coverage. Good recovery speed.

Ball Skills 3 Knows when to attack the ball and when to attack the target. Inconsistent hands. Average ball production with 19 PBUs and five INTs in three seasons. Does a good job of punching at the ball while still wrapping up as a tackler (three career forced fumbles).

Run Support 2 Only knock here is lack of size. Otherwise, he's a highly effective run supporter with elite open-field tackling skills for his size. His unique trait is his instincts in pursuit. Takes excellent angles and has an impressive knack for knowing when/how to either take on blockers or slip.

Is it Boo-dah or Bud-dah?
