Baun isn't athletically blessed enough to go out and cover a slot, so don't get too carried away there. Why he is tricky is because he WAS a 3-4 OLB or EDGE guy. They played him off the ball at the Senior Bowl and he played well enough people think he can make the move to off ball. He is most likely going to play as a 3-4 inside backer who can give you some pass rush versatility if you want to move him around and get creative with your blitz packages.
