Never understood the pick TBH.

Well, we do need depth... and a replacement for Sammich Peat. Mebbe Ruiz wakes up this year. Ingram took three years.

Those names from the article (Baun, Trautman, Ruiz) all from the 2020 draft. Potentially looking like a weak draft class.

Made worse with multi-pick trading up limiting our shots at the draft board; I am, however, optimistic for Trautman to break out this year and lessen the sting...

The Baun pick, while I believe he's a capable player, made no sense as he's clearly a 3-4 OLB, hand in the dirt Jack even; he looks so lost in our 4-3 system...

I'd try to move Baun during Training Camp for either a RB, OG, SS, or 4-3 LBer...

Ruiz pick was as disappointing as his play has been; but this draft class is a poignant example of why more darts for the NFL draft board is better...
