Saints Trade Up And Grab Zack Baun
5 years agoThe New Orleans Saints traded up to the 74th pick in the draft and grabbed linebacker Zach Baun out of Wisconsin. In the process, the Browns gave the 74th and 244th picks to the Saints for the 88th pick and NOLA's 2021 third-rounder, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. This was a solid pick for the Saints, as Baun is strong and quick, though he is undersized. In 14 games last season, the Wisconsin product had 76 tackles, 12.5 sacks and one interception, so New Orleans filled a need with a solid prospect who could have easily been selected in the first round. It may be quite realistic for Baun to start games in 2020.
