[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 871307, member: 7261"] Given that I am a "Badger Homer", one might think I would love Baun and given the Packers need at ILB, would like to seem him in Green and Gold. In reality, I haven't really been that high on him, at least not as a first round pick. Then again I wasn't that high on 2 other Badger LB's, Schobert and Biegel. Schobert turned out pretty decent, but both him and Biegel were 4th round picks. TJ Watt was much more of a sure thing IMO. Seems like the Badgers have been turning out some NFL LB's lately. LB's that seem to have something in common, very smart/cognitive Football Players, with high motors that seem to be able to play outside and inside. I do think Baun will have an NFL career, just not so sure he is top 60 pick material. I think some are seeing Baun's 12.5 sacks and getting big eyes. 2 other recent Badger LB's showed some promise and were 5th round picks in 2019. Ryan Connelly actually looked pretty good for the Giants with 2 interceptions and a sack in 4 games, before being lost for the year with a torn ACL. Andrew Van Ginkle had the opposite season, he missed the first 12 games with a foot injury and played pretty well the final 4 games of the Dolphins season. If the Packers want a Badger LB, I would take a flyer on ILB Chris Orr in the 6th or later. He might be a bit short at 6', but the guy is a weight room freak, is very instinctive, has a knack for delivering explosive hits and his dense frame helps get ball-carriers to the ground. He also has shown a high motor and pursues well to the ball. [/QUOTE]
