Baun improves your defense in all 3 phases. He can stop the run, he can cover, and he can rush the passer.

I’d be tempted to take a corner like Diggs, Johnson, or Noah given our current situation, but after we sign a vet like Breeland, we’ll be set up to go BPA.

Being an Alabama fan I’m not sold on Diggs he gets lost a lot in coverage and can be beat one on one. Baun is a beast good pick Rain Man

Ok tell me he isn’t gonna take the full 12 hrs again

He was last here at 3 am....

He's off to a good start.

Baun... What an awful pick how dare you rainman. Jk

And he has the #40 pick so he needs to stay alert today

He seems tailor made for Spags. His versatility allows him to line up anywhere and it gets rid of the need for Neimann on 3rd downs.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of his 4.65 time compared to Gay Jr.’s 4.46, but Baun’s 20 yard time was 4.31 to Gay Jr’s 4.30.

Our biggest need is LB and we are in prime position to pick the best one of the 2nd wave with depth at other needs I.e. corner, OL and WR

Only thing if this draft fell this way I’d probably take one of the RBs some good ones still on the board.

Either OL or defense, IMO for the premium picks in the first few rounds

Diggs and Swift are gone quickly, so I'll note that they were Candidates A and E. They both seemed like common sense picks, but in both cases they weren't my top candidate at the position, and they were both at positions where I think I can find a good candidate with my second round pick. And if Breeland comes back, I don't think we're in bad shape at CB.

With Baun, I figure he'll be on the field immediately and if I don't take him, there's a dropoff to the candidates I'll be seeing in Round 2. It's a bit of a need pick, but it wasn't much of a compromise.

Baun coached by House would be amazing.

Good pick.

I'm here, just let me update my tracker to make sure I am not double picking.

I can normally pick from work but its been a very shit night.

The NY Giants select :

Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama

Definitely a first round talent, beefing up the Giants D here with first 2 picks.

Steal.

McKinney is easily a top 20 talent.
