Zack Baun: How do you like the pick?

29. Zack Baun, LB Wisconsin

Baun’s lack of bulk is really his only major deterrent. He is thinly built and could definitely benefit from adding some good weight to take on NFL blocks. But he has an elite motor, engages contact with power and good hands, and is quick to diagnose and attack the ball. He’s smooth-hipped in coverage and overall a very quality pursuer as an off ball linebacker. His athleticism coupled with his football IQ makes for a very high ceiling LB prospect. Hard not to love the player, even with an unconventional build for the position.
