Saints select Zack Baun in the 3rd (2 Viewers)

[NatureBoy]

Nice grab. Wonder what the cost to move 14 spots up at this part of draft costs.

 

[RaginCajun83]

Love it

 

[SweetT]

What did we trade to move up? Love the pick

Next year’s 3rd and pick #88 of course.

In Loomis & SP I trust! Great pickup!

Somebody said we would get him in the 1st...?

Multiple people here wanted him in rd 1.

I woulda even been happy to take him there.

Excellent value depending on what they sacrificed.

Gave up our 3 and a future 3

No, we just took our 3 earlier.

Our friend Kevin Hanson published his latest projections very early on Friday morning. He currently believes the New York Giants will pick up Baun quickly in the second round at No. 36 overall. From Hanson:

"He lacks the ideal size to be a full-time NFL edge rusher, but Baun trailed only Chase Young in sacks (12.5) and tackles for loss (19.5) among Big Ten defenders. With sideline-to-sideline range to go along with his coverage and blitzing ability, Baun should transition smoothly into his new role as an off-ball linebacker at the next level."

88 and next year's 3rd round selection.

 

[David Robbins]

This is who I thought we would go after when we didn't trade up into the 2nd. Good pick.

 

[Heathen Saint]

Not super fast but has those killer head hunter instincts you look for in a LBer and is a sure tackler. We found a starter guys
