Zack Baun: Top Graded LB / DPOTW [Why Baun Isn’t Still a Saint Thread]

Strong agree with this.

He’s playing behind a disruptive front four and next to one of the best rangy linebacker prospects I’ve seen in a long time in Nakobe Dean. Those guys cause havoc and Baun is the finisher.

Meanwhile this very thread can’t figure out if he was miscast as an off-ball linebacker, miscast as a pass-rushing edge who’d be better off in a 3-4, or miscast as the guy who should have been LB1 over Demario Davis.
He was miscast as an LB2 when based on his measurables, he should have been in training to take over for a 30+ year old LB1...
It is disappointing that our staff didn't seem to think father-time would ever catch up with DD.

This is the same mistake that also led to T. Hedrickson playing for a different team...
Also our young S that are playing for other teams that we drafted...

How much better would our D be right now if these players were retained & playing for us!
