New Orleans Saints: EDGE/LB Zack Baun
Baun was one of my favorite players to watch in this class, and he goes to a perfect schematic fit in New Orleans. He can be deployed to rush the passer from the line of scrimmage, which he did with 53 total pressures for Wisconsin last season. He can also run and cover as an off-ball linebacker, which he did 195 times over the last two seasons, allowing just 112 yards in receptions. Perhaps other teams didn’t know how to deploy Baun, which is why he dropped to the 10th pick in the third round, but expect Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen to add Baun as both an edge defender and a space player — and both to the benefit of his defense in a big hurry.
