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.

Feels like it's been 6000 years since draft night was fun!!!! [Reply]

I always trusted Veach, but I was legitimately worried. This is the first sigh of true relief I've felt since the Super Bowl loss.
I went from:
What if Fisher and Schwartz don't get healthy?
to
We cut them, so what now?
to
What if we have to pay a shit ton to 34 year old (who is awesome now, but might decline)?
to
Are we going to sign JAGs like Okung or Villanueva?
to
I guess I hope a stud OT is available at 31, when everyone knows we have to pull that trigger.
to
What if we trade up? How much will it cost us to take a chance on someone?
to
Today. It's the best case scenario, tbh. I honestly prefer this to Trent Williams, because of the 10 year age difference and 2 years of player control. AND we get a another 2nd rounder for the cost of #31 + two mid round picks? AND we don't have to go into the draft with gaping hole at one of the most important spots?

I like evolution, don't get me wrong. But I sure am tired of not seeing my God creating the sun, moon, and the Earth. Last year, Adam was God's only first round pick. Kinda takes the fun out of the Bible. [Reply]

Winning Super Bowls.
Plus, it’s Veach. Are you SURE they won’t pick night 1?

Come on, this has to be sarcasm from jjchieffan.... right?
If not for picking up Mahomes and CEH in the past handful of drafts, the whole "only one first round pick last year" really gives it away.
