POSITIVES

Leader of one of the best offensive lines in the country. Incredibly quick feet, and exceptional technique. One of the best pass protectors in the country, and as he grows, gets better and better as a run blocker as well. Very athletic, and has tons of potential.

NEGATIVES

Could be bigger, and he could be stronger. To be honest, if he can get his weight up, and keep that athleticism, he could be moved into that top level of offensive tackles, in the upcoming draft, but he's still a little undersized, and even though he's an exceptional pass protector, will have to work hard on his run blocking, in the NFL.

FINAL WORD

Sort of the least known of the top offensive tackle prospects. With so many high profile stars around him, he has a tendency to get lost. Baker is a solid player, who's experience and polished technique sets him apart, but he will need to beef up some, if he wants to move into that top 5.
