Budda Baker could be that. That's his specialty. Maybe if we had more over the top help we wouldn't get burnt so often.

Baker is getting the Honey badger type comparisons. He could be special.

I like him. If Tredavious White isn't there at 32 I'd take Budda Baker. If Obi Melifonwu is there in the 2nd round I'd be tempted to pair those two together and move Vacarro.

So go with 2 rookies and drop our 2 starters Bell and Kv? That would be smart. look, I agree we need safety depth but I'm happy going into the season with Bell and kv. Problem is we run a lot of 3 safety sets. That means we need a talented #3 safety that is just as talented as our #3 cb. Baker could be a nice pick up and play as a #3 but no way he starts over the other two. Obi is way over rated. Reminds me of SJB a few years back. All potential and no history of playing great.

I'd prefer intimidators like NC State's Josh Jones...

Let Kenny V move back to his more natural FS spot, if he can't beat out Vonn Bell, then move on without the salary cap hit...
