Maybe... just maybe the staff will use him correctly and have him rush the passer (think Kaden Ellis role) instead of chasing running backs through the secondary. At least that's what I hope. I hate it when they try to change a player. the dude was a pretty good edge rusher at Wisky, but DA thought it would be a good idea to make him a standup LB. Just makes no sense.
Baun is listed at 225lbs. He isn't an NFL pass rusher at 225. Even at Wisconsin he was light for a DE at 238. Kaden Ellis is the player he should have been but couldn't be because he wasn't as good as Ellis. His benefit is a cheap contract.
