We should have taken Mason Rudolph.
Anyone complain about him being 6'1 228, there's telvin Smith from the the Jaguars, Myles jack from the Jaguars, Dion Jones from the Falcons, lavonte David, ryan shazier, are all under 6'2 230 pounds and all have had good careers. The same crap was said about them and in the right system they all flourished.
I cant remember the last buckeye lb to not be good..any thoughts ..jelani Jenkins had that one good year for us and I thought he was gonna be very good, but he could never stay healthy .if baker has a rookie season anywhere close to that it's a great pick.
I would have lived mason too. But the best part of not getting him is the Pats didn't either. That makes me smile.We should have taken Mason Rudolph.
How quickly they forget our achilles. Wish I had a dollar for every time I was looking at the back of Kiko's uniform as the other team converted another third and long. It's a copycat league, once he was exposed, every team exploited it. GIve the FO credit for recognizing and addressing a major deficiency in our D, our 1st, and 3rd should fix that problem.This was an excellent pick. It was obvious what type of linebacker they were looking at outside of the chance at Roquan Smith. Darius Leonard, Fred Warner, Jerome Baker.... They're all in the same mold. Those were the guys they were targeting in this range. He's the one who fell.
They wanted a guy who can cover. Someone who can replace Kiko in the nickel package. Isn't that something we all screamed and cursed about in the game threads every week for the past two seasons? You'd think people would be more thrilled about that.
Tight ends and running backs have killed this team. Between Fitzpatrick and Jerome Baker we are going to be a lot better at avoiding those headaches so much. We will actually have a shot at getting off the field on third and long. Look at how offenses have shifted, and how tight ends and running backs are being used in the passing game now. It's one of the reasons why we moved on from Ajayi. You NEED linebackers who are fast, athletic, and can cover. That's Jerome Baker.
I have no issues with this pick. Had they taken him over Leonard, then fine. But with what was remaining on the board, from a need AND value standpoint.... I am fine with this pick.

Agreed, the best part is the rest of the division is having a generally crappy draft and NE brought Rudolph in for a visit. The Jets with no second round pick and a rookie QB. Bills with a rookie QB. The season is setting up nicely. At this point, it would be tempting to bet on the over 7.5 wins for Miami especially if they can get to 4-2 in the division.
No jokeSo 2 new dolphins on that list. Gesicki benches 410lbs?? Holy crap!
Does picking Baker mean Kiko is our MLB because i think thats a horrible choice. we will get ran all over with kiko at MLB
What's the big difference between this pick and the #44 Stephone Anthony we already have on the roster?
Also, it's SCARY how lazy #17 plays! He routinely watches his teammates make tackles.
Look at the McMillan tape below and pay attention to #17 Baker
Also note the long TD against him at the 4:29 mark...Lazy defender..
