Drywall attic air vent baffles?

Any reason not to use extra drywall for attic air vent baffles? It would be installed similarly to rigid insulation or plywood baffles. Sister a 2×2 along the rafter and screw drywall in place. I would eventually insulate under the drywall baffle. Just thinking if there was a way to avoid the landfill with all of the extra scrap.

Seth,
I can't think of a good reason why your idea won't work.
