...Baun redshirted his true freshman season after breaking his left foot going into the season.[5] He appeared in 12 games as a redshirt freshman, making 15 tackles (3.5 for loss) with a forced fumble. Baun missed the entirety of his redshirt sophomore season after re-injuring his left foot during spring practices.[6]...

If he's healthy, he's a steal - same with Anzalone...

I don't get deep into the draft like some of you folks so I'm not familiar with a lot of these players, especially outside the SEC, but this is the common lament on Baun. If he can get his health right he's a big time steal. And he fits Seans "A-Learner" tag from what I read, so there's that. On to tomorrow.

Just a broken foot huh? Then he tweaked it? I’m good with that. Muscle and tendon damage is the **** I don’t like.

When Anzalone is healthy, he's a good player. I don't see a high ceiling, though. If Baun stays healthy, there is star potential. Not to mention, even at his best, Anzalone has never proven to be a good pass rusher. Baun could be elite, in that area.

I like the upside much more in Baun, and given that it was a 3rd rounder, like Alex, I'm ok with a little risk.

I hope we never lose Jeff Ireland.
