He just has less football experience than most players. Fair enough. Just rather not take the chance at #17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played spot duty for LSU as a freshman who had only turned 18 years old in july before the season. He still managed a pair of sacks. He was supposed to dominate as a sophomore but tore his ACL week 1. Still managed a sack that game. Then of course this year he got his chance, and looked good like we all thought he could. Especially as the season went on and the competition grew. It's not like this was a nobody walk on that failed to make an impact his whole career up until now. He has been a known talent since he was 16. Not exactly a one year wonder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's better than what most people think and is squarely in the "second tier" of prospects outside of the 12-15 true 1st round prospects. I guess that's my point. The Kinlaws, Chaissons, Lambs, Jeudys, Hendersons all are in that 12-15 prospect range that Baun is not in. And one of those guys is going to be available at 17, I'm sure of it.

I agree, but we can’t get caught with out pants down on the off chance that they aren’t. Jerry has been caught in the draft before, and he tanked the entire thing because he was not prepared for all of his targeted players being gone.

He was primed to break out as a sophomore, but everything was delayed a year because of that injury - so his production is just meh. But his traits are legit.

I'm just saying, in my mind, Kinlaw, Chaisson, Jeudy, Lamb, Ruggs, and Henderson would be on the "short list" as you called it. While, in my opinion, Baun would fall with a handful of others in a groups as backup options. What I'm trying to understand from you is if you agree with that. Or if you think Baun really deserves to be part of that short list conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just seen him overlooked by a lot of people, and I think that’s a mistake. Edited April 3, 2020 by plan9misfit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 I view Baun as a TJ Watt. I really think he will be good. Just kinda stuck on where to play him. Not sure he is big enough to play hand in the dirt opposite DLaw but I don't want to pass over him for a Taco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Slamman Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 If Chaisson is available @17, why wouldn’t anyone be thrilled? Aside from Kinlaw, there’s no other defensive player (whose likely to be available) that I’d rather have including Henderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'm still team Epenesa. But I can live with Chaisson if they can get the talent on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could live with Chaisson, particularly if Henderson if gone and we can't trade back. However, I actually think there is more value in the late 2nd or 3rd. I really like James Lynch and Curtis Weaver a bit better given where they are anticipated to be drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
