How does Luke Kuechly compare ?

Looks like the measurables are close. So do we have a Luke Kuechly on our hands since this dude is so smart?

Someone please remind me... was Luke Kuechly any good?

Luke? I wouldn't go that far. I've read 4th/5th round grades on Werner. Eye ball test for me is meh. If he becomes a force I will say I'm wrong.

It's well past due for the Saints to hit on drafting a linebacker. It's been decades now …

Once again, the real people making the real picks are what determines the draft order. Not some outsider coming up with their order. If a team has 8 picks in the first three rounds and none after do they ignore a player they have targeted since before the draft because Mel McShay has him as a 5th rounder?

Does that make sense?

This guy is a two down Mike. I don’t get it. He’s essentially Anzalone without the hair.

I still have high hopes for Baun, and I hope he along with Davis and now Werner will become a strenght of the defense.

...but to be honest I was a Shanle, Lofton and Anzalone apologist.

Baun is way better than Werner.

I guess time will tell, but I do hope it'll be a case of one being good and the other one being even better.

How do you know that? Neither has had an opportunity yet in the NFL. Seriously, how can any player be defined before playing at the highest level with proper coaching and training?

Braun has good speed maybe he will work in the Will position?

Don't know about Baun, however Coach Payton mentioned that he plans to work Pete Werner at the WILL, but has the ability to play MIKE.

But yeah, I'm really curious to see how Baun is used in 2021.
