How is Baun different?

So when we picked Zack Baun, I immediately thought about Davis Tull & Hau'oli Kikaha.

I can't remember if Davis ever played a down for us and I know Kikaha got the short end of the stick due to philosophy changes and injuries.

Zack Baun is around the same size as Tull & Kikaha, so what makes him different? Of course we really do not know, but does anything stand out to you that's better than Tull & Kikaha?
For me it appears he has better speed.

Schobert similarly to Baun transitioned from an OLB at Wisconsin to a MLB for the Browns. 400 tackles in 4 years with 49 starts. Recently signed a 5 year $53 mill deal with the Jags.

Baun hopes to make a similar transition with the Saints to a MLB or SLB role.
