I was a Bills season ticket holder for both years Baker played in Buffalo. He wasn't very good. Actually, he was horrid and looked nothing like a top 1000 ranked high schooler.FWIW, JAG Baker was the 82nd ranked recruit in the country coming out of high school (just behind Vince Wilfork and Ronnie Brown), and was one of the best DB's in the SEC. Draft position doesn't tell the entire story of how talented someone is. See Gay, Randall, and Welker, Wes. With Wilson likely moving on, I'm sure you will get a big dose of Meriweather next year.
Also, Gay and Hobbs had to play early because of necessity. Remember Duane Starks and Earthwind Moreland?
Now it's possible things have changed for him but that doesn't lesson my worry that our 1st rounder, and highly ranked collegiate player, can't surpass him on our depth chart.
