Fantasy Impact:

The Saints gave up the 88th overall pick as well as a 2021 third-rounder in order to take Baun with this selection. The edge rusher out of Wisconsin fell considerably tonight and the Saints are clearly trying to capitalize while Drew Brees is still their quarterback. Baun is a versatile athlete capable of functioning in multiple roles on New Orleans' defense.
