- He has a high motor and does a solid job setting the edge against the run
- He has prototypical size, with a little more room on his frame to add weight
Weaknesses
- Baldonado has to develop a counter move or two in the pass rush, and Baldonado needs to make better use of his hands

Would Habakkuk Baldonado Fit on the Packers?
The Packers need some edge depth and Baldonado seems to be a good fit for Green Bay. He has great size and has some room to grow in the NFL as well. Similar to what Kingsley Enagbare did this season, Baldonado would not have to come in a be the number one edge option. He could be a complementary piece while he develops.
Check Out Another Prospect That Could Fit For the Packers
This feels like a fifth-round Brian Gutekunst pick. A solid player that slides to a later round and yet his experience means he is ready to start week 1. Love Baldonado as a day 3 pick for the Packers.
