Not a scheme fit. He’s a 3-4 OLB.
Helluva player though. |

Disagree with Northman. Been and still am high on him. He reminds me a ton of Schobert when he was coming out. Baun won't hold up as a 3-4 OLB in the NFL in my opinion. He's an inside linebacker in either scheme or a 4-3 SLB. That's my take. He has some good athleticism.

FWIW, that's who Jeremiah had us taking in his mock draft.

I dont think he will be on the board but if he is, I cant fathom Veach passing on him.

He absolutely fits in this defense with his versatility. Spags clearly loves guys that are versatile. Wouldn’t be a bad pick at all at 31/32.

I really like him, but this guy has Patriots written all over him. I fully expect them or one of Bill’s spawns to take him.
Plus he’ll likely have terrific number in Indy. |

Just like Gladney, the more I watch him, the more I like him at 32.
I think those two are my top 2 realistic options at 32. |

Honestly, I think he’ll be better than Barr. He’s got a higher football IQ and he’s just a better football player. But in terms of skill set and role that’s a good comparison.

As for LB, it's rare more than a couple go in the first round. Sometimes none. So, one can't say for certain. It also depends on how teams value Baun versus other LBs highly ranked. Simmons is a top-10 pick. You still have Murray and Queen that will get serious consideration in round 1. So, there's more than a passing shot he's there. Teams likely will not be looking at Baun as a pass rusher, so that's probably off the table. Then you have the 4 pillars philosophy that teams will look to fulfill and LB isn't on that list. It's a solid QB draft. It's a solid O-Line draft, especially for tackles. Teams are going to go after those Edge guys and Corners. So, all of that just pushes guys down. I think you bank pass rushers (DT/ER) taking up at least 6 first-round picks (Brown, Kinlaw, Young, Epenesa, Gross-Matos, Chaisson) I'd go with at least 7 DBs (CB/S) with Okudah, Diggs, Henderson, Gladney, Johnson, McKinney and one of a lot of Delpit, Fulton, Hall, and Terrell. You have 3 sure QBs in Burrow, Tua, and Herbert and possibly a 4th in Love. You have at least 5 offensive linemen in Wirfs, Wills, Becton, Thomas and another of probably Ruiz, Jones, or Jackson. You have at least 1 RB with this class, probably Swift. Possibly more in Dobbins and Taylor. I'd say at least 5 WRs in Lamb, Ruggs, Jeudy, Shenault, and Higgins. I see Simmons and Murray as locks at LB. That's 29 guys. Question is where does Baun fit in? I haven't been scouring boards much this year, but the ones that are old faithful types have him ranked around 45-50. |

Watched alot of B1G being a Husker fan he owned us and in other games this dude was all over the field. I think our biggest knock was a guy who can go sideline to sideline. I like Braun.
