Baker has a nose for the ball, and can tackle. Probably too expensive as a 1st round pick to have a 3rd Safety of that caliber. With they amount of nickel we play I think he could get a lot of playing time for him without injuries and bring a new wrinkle to our already great defense.

Probably not surprising, but JS has been seen at UW games this year. Gotta wonder who's on his list.

A few years ago they were targeting Mark barron is the first round.

Injuries are starting to mount up for Earl, and who knows where his head is...

Not so crazy of an idea to look at safety now?

I would like Baker but have a feeling that Kevin King is the most likely to be drafted by us.

In my dreams, the Hawks get Jabril Peppers but no way he is not a top 5 pick. Damn.

Wishful thinking. But I don't see that happening. :?

It would probably take more to get Berry than what Earl is currently being paid. I would pass on him, and allocate those funds towards the Oline or getting some of our current players extended.

I like what I've seen from our backup FS. If Earl retires, he can step up and be the guy....whatever his name is :)

John Ross is the most electric WR in the PAC 12 since DeSean Jackson

Id take him,,, but Lockett and Richardson are pretty similar to him.

Ross had a great year, but I'm kind of tired of these small speedy guys. We need a bigger target outside IMO.

Be interesting to see this team with a Mike Evans.

Wouldn't be fair. Wouldn't be fair.

Unfortunately barring us giving up a ton of draft compensation, we'll never be bad enough to land a Mike Evans like talent because those guys go Top 10 every time.

Fun to dream though.

A luxury 1-st/ or trade down & get an additional 2-nd round pick, could be the slot for a big productive WR, like................
---WR-Corey Davis, W. Michigan, 6-3/213, For 2016-------------------- 91/1427(15.68-YPC) & 18-TD's.

CAREER #'s = 326/5212 & *51*-TD's. (he's a much needed TD machine in the red zone.) *Note*-- the 5212 receiving yards I believe is an FBS all time career record and the 51-TD's isn't far behind the all time career receiving TD record. All great production #'s for any WR ever.

How about Coleman? Love the size and physicalality. Seems to have very respectable burst too. Seems to be a very Seahawky RB to me. Like him much more than Gaskin

I really like Coleman as well. He looks the part so I'm curious to see where his combine numbers end up.

Lots of good posts in this thread. Great read, well done guys.

The Huskies also appear to do a lot of zone run blocking, so Coleman would have some experience with that.

Of all the guys on the huskies roster right now I think Budda Baker is probably the one I'd like on our roster. I think he would be an amazing addition to the LOB.

I think I'm the only one who agrees with you, I think Budda Baker would be the best option for a starter next year assuming Earl retires.

Not convinced John Ross will be great in the NFL.

I think BaKer fits us perfectly, and I wouldn't be shocked if we go safety early if the right guy is there.

I also love Coleman for us. His combine will be interesting. If he's a 4.5 guy he's definitely on the radar. If he's a 4.6 guy then probably not.

I think Ross is probably more like Lockett than anyone else.

For him to be great, he'll have to improve his hands. He doesn't seem to trust them at times, and often turns them the wrong way to catch passes, resulting in more body catches that he should be securing with his hands.

His speed is NFL great. His route running is college great. He has a ton of tools to work with. But it'll be his hands that will take the most work.

At this stage, Ross is probably still the best prospect. Lockett is a good comp. Although I think Ross has another gear that Lockett doesn't have. In particular, Ross has a gear before he hits top speed that affords him greater separation and give him better ability to create a seam to explode for huge plays. Both are quick, but I think Ross has an even greater ability to break away free and clear than Tyler.

Wouldn't be shocked if Ross has even faster top end speed.

What's really shown this year though, is Ross' route running. Very crisp. Very few lazy/rounded cuts. Demonstrates commitment to his craft. Bodes very well for him at the next level.

This draft looks very sneaky good for WR talent.
