No. 24 (R1, 24) WR Justin Jefferson, LSU
No. 24 (R1, 24) C/G Cesar Ruiz, Michigan
No. 24 (R1, 24) CB Jeff Gladney, TCU
No. 24 (R1, 24) LB Zach Baun, Wisconsin

I’ll throw in DE AJ Epenesa as well.

Here's the thing with Baun, if we were building a 3-4, wouldn't think twice about taking him in the first round...

But I'm not taking him as a DE as he lacks the size to set the edge on the weakside in a 4-3 and would be a liability as Galette was...

And I'm not wasting that pass rush ability to play him as a SAM LBer who may see half the defensive snaps per game...

I want my first round picks on the field every possible play, snap I can get out of them...

Gladney was very erratic against pro talent, and I think his floor is like that of a Tracy Porter, that's why I'd take him in the second round...

Can see a trade and switch, where we replace Warford with Ruiz, though I like Tyler Badass from Wisconsin or Logan Stenberg from Kentucky more...

ChrisXVI · 04-18-2020, 05:54 PM

I think Zack Baun can play a Lorenzo Alexander/Kyle Van Noy type of role. In the base defense he’d play Sam LB and in sub-packages he can be a stand-up edge rusher. I think he also has the ability to be an off-ball LB in sub-packages.

What's this mess about a diluted sample at the combine?

Yeah that’s an obstacle that may cause him to drop to the second round. For the record, I don’t think we’ll draft Baun. I’m just intrigued by his versatility. I think the team’s very high on Kaden Elliss at Sam LB.

Approaching the draft, he reminds of Hau'oli Kikaha to be honest...

Javan Kinlaw - DT South Carolina

I doubt he slips outside the top 15 but you never know ...

Baun, mostly. He can flat pin his ears back and eat territory fast going to the passer, much like Pat Swilling did back in the day...

He doesn't have near the functional strength that Rickey Jackson had to hold the Edge though...
