Strengths: He is tall, well-built and strong. He has long arms, big hands and good leaping ability. Will flash acrobatic playmaking skills. Is a weapon on the jump ball and in the red zone. He has a knack for coming up with the big catch in the clutch. He has developed outstanding hands and will pluck the ball on the run. He can catch the ball over his head and away from his frame. Shows good fluidity and COD skills for his size. Can make the first defender miss after the catch and he builds speed as he goes. He also has the size and strength to be an effective stalk-blocker if he works at it harder.
Weaknesses: He lacks ideal speed and initial burst. Will struggle to separate as consistently in the NFL. Not a vertical threat versus man-to-man coverage. He seems to lack some toughness. Does not like to work the middle of the field. Essentially is a possession receiver outside the hashes. His technique as a blocker is poor and his effort in that area is too inconsistent. Missed some playing time with a broken rib and punctured lung in 2005, so durability is something to be monitored.
Overall: Baker was redshirted in 2002. He played in all 13 games as a redshirt freshman in 2003, finishing with 13 receptions for 209 yards and one TD. As a sophomore in 2004, he played in a rotation in all 12 games and finished with 26 catches for 410 yards and five TDs. As a junior in 2005, he finished with 52 catches for 695 yards and five TDs. In 2006, the All-SEC first team selection hauled in 60 passes for 920 yards (15.3 average) and 10 touchdowns in 14 games.
Baker was an underachiever prior to his junior season in 2005, when he was slowed by a lingering ankle injury late in the season but emerged as a consistent playmaker with an average of nearly five catches for 60 yards in the team's first eight games. Baker has always possesses impressive size and body control, but it took him a while to develop reliable hands and quality intermediate route-running skills. Baker does not possess elite speed, which will always limit his NFL potential. But he still projects as a sub-package possession receiver in the NFL, which is why we think he warrants consideration in the final few rounds of the 2007 draft

Another one I'd like to see Dallas draft would be Jamalle Cornelius. He is another player out of the University of Florida. His scoutin report looks like this:
Strengths: Possesses above average top-end speed, does a fairly good job of tracking the ball downfield and can stretch defenses. Stays focused when ball is in the air and can catch the ball in-stride. Shows good body control and can adjust to passes thrown outside frame. Explodes out of cuts and can separate from man coverage. Can make the first defender miss, has the second gear to run defenders and is a dangerous open field runner who can turn a catch underneath into a long gain.
Weaknesses: Lacks ideal size and bigger corners will have some success muscling him out of routes. Though flashes the ability to run crisp short-to-intermediate routes, relies on speed too much and needs to improve in this area. Can let ball get into frame, appears to lose focus at times and is vulnerable to dropping basses that should catch. Doesn't use hands all that well and he can have problems beating press coverage. Lacks ideal upper body strength, doesn't play with a mean streak and is an adequate-at-best blocker. While durability isn't a significant injury, missed Mississippi State game with an ankle injury in 2005 and missed time with an ankle injury in 2006.
Overall: Florida red-shirted Cornelius in 2002. He played in all 13 games of the 2003 season and he caught seven passes for 105 yards. Cornelius also rushed for 14 yards on two carries that year. He started five of the 12 games he appeared in during the 2004 season and he caught 12 passes for 154 yards and three touchdowns. Cornelius also rushed for six yards and a touchdown on five carries, returned one kickoff for 17 yards and retuned one punt for 16 yards that year. He started nine of the 11 games in 2005 and he caught 29 passes for 383 yards and one touchdown. Cornelius also lost eight yards on two carries, returned seven kickoffs for 141 yards and returned one punt for 22 yards that year. He finished the 2006 season having played in all 14 games, with 10 starts, and caught 34 passes for 523 yards (15.4 average) and three touchdowns.
Cornelius isn't a great route-runner, he drops passes he should catch and he needs to get stronger but these are problems that can be fixed if he can stay healthy and he has very good potential. He has the burst to get open underneath, the speed to stretch defenses and he can produce after the catch. Cornelius projects as a late-round pick.

Love the first name!
Three or four WR's I like if that is the way we go. Could be OL, NT or CB.
