Baker is a tough kid from ATL who used sports to escape the day to day in some parts of this country. Big time recruit which you always want. Was at Alabama before being lost in the shuffle there.
Baker is a prototype Z with X upside if he works on his efficiency on the los and catch point against bigger corners. Natural flanker in wco. He's got very good pacing to his routes imo. That's actually how he wins most of the time. With good pacing and baiting his man before the top of his route/breaks. He could be faster and more efficient here. Doesnt break off his routes as crisp as he could. Good job setting up his defender at the top of routes for the most part. He's got the ability to separate in the pros for sure. Plus vision whether it's on screens or in-route he's able to see what's around him for space, bodies and use that to his advantage. See some good yac off his game, again good vision and awareness. Would thrive with more PA added with his routes imo. He's really able to use things like that to his advantage. He has to tighten up his hands when the ball is closer to him. Not sure if he gets distracted but his hands are inconsistent at the catch point at times. Could tighten up his path post-catch and just take efficiency > chance at a big play. Can take a hit and keep going, good contact balance. Good blocker overall but has to make first contact more and not drop his head so easy.
He's got some issues but I love the value here. On the ptp board. This is a good pick boys. WR2 upside with the possibility of a top 20 season if he really hits. Let's go.
