2nd Round (pick #36) – Budda Baker, S, Washington
Quintin Demps was a decent signing, but hardly the shift in direction the Bears have needed at safety for years. He’s 32-years old and no guarantee to be the same player he was in Houston. Chicago has to take advantage of this strong safety class while they can. Budda Baker is exactly the sort of player they don’t have on the back end. He’s tough, quick, athletic and highly instinctive. He finds his way to the football, plays with great energy and effort and is a tackling machine. He’d be the best safety the second he entered the building.
