Kansas City is trading its first-round pick Thursday night, along with three other picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Pro Bowl OT Orlando Brown and one pick in the 2021 draft and another in 2022, per sources.

Not if he keeps playing like this. That would be doubling down on a mistake. I don’t see Orlando Brown as a fit for the offense Andy Reid wants to run. He’s limited in pass protection. He’s always going to struggle with speed rushers. [Reply]

Pat needs to step up in the pockets
more.
He's trying, that's why he looks so uncomfortable. Mahomes wants to run around until someone pops open. [Reply]

This is a prove your worth in our scheme year.
Who are we going to sign in the off-season if not Brown? Are we going to get high enough to draft a top LT? Are we going to get a FA LT? The answer to both of those is somewhere between highly unlikely to no.
He will be willing to sign a "lower than market" contract to keep his dream alive while he continues to get better ala, Eric Fisher. [Reply]

Like I said Brown would be signed now if Veach thought he's the answer especially when it concerns protecting Patrick's blindside.

Everything is fluid in the NFL concerning draft prospects or players on other teams wanting to be traded or released [Reply]

Its kind of funny how little we play to his strengths though. I think he's sucked so far but shit we don't even try to help. What's the point of building this great run blocking line and then not even running. Or when you run, it's with two RBs who are slower than Mahomes? Why not try quick passes so that DEs can't speed rush every single time? Why not help him out when you're running long developing plays? What's the point of us having kept all these tight ends if they can't help block?
As bad as players have been, the coaches have probably been worse. You should know a players weaknesses by the end of camp. You should be able to gameplan around those weaknesses by now. [Reply]
The bigger question might be why bring in, let alone trade for, a guy that doesn't fit your strengths?
On the coaching front, yeah its week 7 and he's struggling with the same stuff he was in camp and beyond, so make the adjustment already unless you're confident he's going to magically figure it out midseason. [Reply]

Shaun Wade was traded for 2022 seventh-round pick and a 2023 fifth-round pick.
Cleveland is on the IR.
Ravens got a bunch of picks for the 4th rounder. That's about it.
Oweh has almost half as many sacks (3) as our entire defense (8). With a couple forced fumbles. He'd immediately be the most effective pass rusher on our team not named - and I'm being very generous here based on his play so far this season - Chris Jones. [Reply]

Yeah Ravens gave us a player and immediately used the pick we gave them to draft someone that can abuse him. Hell Oweh was the reason they beat us week 2.
The Ravens couldn't have planned this any better. [Reply]

nah, if we don't trade we don't have Bolton or Humphries, you choose...
Pat need to quit drifting back 10-12 yards and it will fix most of the problem. [Reply]
