He benched 14 which i could do right now and i haven't benched in 5 years, and his broad was sub 10'. 37th percentile in 40, 43rd in bench, and 26th in broad, not great. You must be having 20 inch arm length, eh? Anyway, I spoke of drills. I heard he was outstanding in drills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did move well in drills. I am not saying he is a bad player, actually he has pretty good tape. But if he is a bad locker room guy who also isn't going to work at his craft and he isn't a freak athlete those are all bad things. Like 33 inch arms... just used to do a lot of bench because i was an idiot lol... used to specifically work on seeing how many i could do of 225 because i liked the combine, my best was 29.

He never drafted CB in 1st round so far I am aware of. He only drafted CB after 1st round because he had habit of drafting CB for specific job. A very few of them could extend themselves to different roles next year and after that in their respective time. In Baker's case, he is potentially above average in many coverage tasks so for 1st round consideration, I can see BB take him and try it for 8 year commitment. With that regard, we should respect BB's opinion for Baker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing about BB liking a guy with questionable character concerns is that they just look at the player and think that their environment/locker room can cure everything.... they seem to forget that they had a mass murderer in their midst.

Albert Haynesworth was still a shlub once he got there, Josh Gordon still got suspended, ocho cinco pretty much stayed the same. I wasn't saying they are all killers, but their culture doesn't always fix all problems, but they think it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby816 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 If we do trade back and still don't go edge in Round 1... I really like Joe Jackson from Miami at edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
