Baker is as close as it gets to an Earl clone. Undersized but very fast (should clock in the same range as Earl in the 40 at a similar height/weight). Great athleticism, instincts, playing speed, and a good tackler with impressive hitting ability for his size.
Even if Earl comes back 100%, Baker could fit well in a Tyrann Mathieu type role, covering the slot. Or he could play deep in a base nickel with Kam pushed up to more of a LB role.
McCray is a UFA and Terrell, Shead, and Thorpe are all RFAs, so there is a need.
Not sure where he'll get drafted but he could be a target in the 1st or 2nd round and I'd love to add him to the LOB.
