I had Murphy and Greedy as CBs who had more potential, but Baker was an absolute stud at Georgia. A LOCKDOWN stud. Hopefully he and Beal will be the future starting CBs.
#NYG acquire 30th overall pick from #Seahawks and select Georgia CB Deandre Baker who didn't give up a TD his last two college seasons. NYG gave SEA their 2nd, a 4th and a 5th-round pick.
Great pick Snacks knees are about shot .

We have our NT .
Tomlinson to me underwhelmed at NT
Seems we have to get something in a Edge rusher and
a RT in round #2 .. Maybe we move up ....
Summary: Baker was a three year starter for the Bulldogs that progressively improved as a prospect from the beginning of 2017. The two-time all SEC defender (1st Team in 2018) brings the kind of confidence and swagger that can take on the numerous challenges of playing cornerback in the NFL. He can be left alone on an island and stick with anyone on all levels of the route tree as well as make plays on the ball like a receiver. His issues can be correctable, mainly the technique-based and mental ones. The lack of power presence can be an issue at times but in a league where contact is allowed less and less in coverage, the corners that can get the job done via instincts, agility, and speed stand out a bit more.
*Another safe pick here that may have a limited upside, but at this position you just want reliable. That is Baker is a nutshell. I love the competitive spirit, the swagger he shows on the outside. Do I trust him against a Michael Thomas on an island? Probably not. But at the end of the day that isnt the job of a #1 corner on most teams. He can fit in to any coverage scheme and any role, right away.
NFL Comparison: TreDavious White / BUF
So much for Gettleman not putting a premium on DB's.
Why? Because he didn't interview well? Kid was born in Liberty City. He's always had a chip on his shoulder. He's confident in his abilities.
Do you know how many TDs Baker gave up at Georgia? One. ONE. 1. UNO. JUST ONE. And over the last two years, do you know how many he's given up? GOOSE EGG.
like Baker a lot, but that is way too much. A CB would have been available at #37. Again, I thought the plan was to get more picks in rounds two and three. Instead all we have now is #95.

That's an atrocious take. He gave up no TDs the last two years. NO TDs. Baker win the Jim Thorpe Award, presented to college football's best defensive back, last season.

#Giants traded No. 37, 132 (fourth round) and 142 (fifth round) for No. 30 to take CB DeAndre Baker. #nygiants #nyg #nfldraft

this night has been terrible.
Reached for a QB when a first rate edge rusher was there.
Reached for a DL when a superior edge rusher (or which, we have none) was there.
This draft will be looked back as setting this franchise back three years.
He won the award for best cb in college, Im sure he can cover a little bit

4th/5th is what 7 picks at this point goes for. They had 12 picks this year. Down to 10.
I'll say this is still the best pick of the three.
Grade: 83

seems like a lot but it's actually a little less than the chart value - plus we still have 6 picks left

to move up 7 spots we had to give up a 4 and 5??? overpay!!!!
You know nothing.
He had the second best coverage skills with 41.8% comp pct which was second best in FBS and 4.6 per reception also 2nd best in FBS
They weren't using 12 picks.

Please show me where I bashed this pick?
Oh, wait, you cant. Fuck off.

Yeah, sure. He can't cover....
People have done studies and hit rates (for them becoming starters) is like 10%.
We gave up nothing.
I would be shopping Engram tomorrow if I was DG.

We have a bunch of mid round picks, it was a good move up. Going to be a long time between next picks though.
What school of logic do some of you fuckers attend?
The opposite happened lol
