EDGE Zack Baun, Wisconsin
Similarly to Gross-Matos, Baun brings versatility on the defensive front, though not on the defensive line. Rather, he can play inside or outside linebacker, showing the ability to drop back in coverage, play the run and rush the passer.
He’s a fringe first-round prospect and will be out of the Rams’ reach after an outstanding Senior Bowl and great combine showing, but a trade up for the Wisconsin Badger shouldn’t be ruled out. With two first-round picks, the Rams have the ammo to go get him, should they see linebacker as their biggest area of need.
