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

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.
