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.
If you have any plans on re-signing him I don't see the point of a tag. Just sign him. His value will only increase if you go the tag route we have seen this happen countless times already.
Now if your plan is to get another year out of him and let him walk for a comp or trade him... sure, I guess? [Reply]

It also provides the Chiefs with another year to find/groom his replacement, if needed. [Reply]

He's listed at 363-lbs. 330-340 lbs. would be realistic and would do wonders for his agility/flexibility. As would a hardcore lifting program.
in spite of his issues, he hasn't been terrible most of the time, but the 15-yd drops are killing him. once he has to run around he's done, so patrick needs to quit the mega-deep drops and stop bailing so quick. [Reply]
On Wednesday, Pro Football Focus released its midseason ranking of the NFL’s offensive lines.
After ranking the Kansas City Chiefs’ offensive line in eighth place before the season began, Wednesday’s article (written by Sam Monson) now ranks the unit as the league's second-best. [Reply]
Kansas City's offense is struggling and doesn't look anything like the high-flying, explosive enterprise it has been since Patrick Mahomes entered the lineup. But the problems aren’t with the offensive line, which has actually been better than a season ago despite a complete overhaul. Rookies Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith have been the unit's best-graded players, and no individual player has been getting consistently taken to pieces. Right tackle Lucas Niang is the biggest weakness thus far, and even he has allowed just one sack all season. [Reply]
I will be interested to see what Kyle Long can do to contribute...I know the last time he was a starter he didn't grade out the best... but if nothing else he is a mean mother f****r and that is good to have on a O-line [Reply]
