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.

4-D chess going on here...
Doesn’t sound like he’s interested is that. He believes there is talent in round two and after that it drops off fast. [Reply]

1. TJ Barnes, DT, 355 pounds, active for 5 games in 2016 - no starts
2. Willie Jones, OT, 355 pounds, active for 18 games in 2001 and 2002 - no starts
3. Jared Gaither, OT, 350 pounds, active for 10 games in 2011 - no starts
4. Dontari Poe, NT, QB, RB, 346 pounds, active for 128 games from 2012 through 2016 - 125 starts.
I'm so happy we got our fatty before the draft rather than having to stay up on draft night to find our fatty. [Reply]
Check out the Ravens Vs. Chiefs games where he bitch-slapped Clark the Shark all over the field. Brown looked like a lion playing with a mouse. [Reply]

Almost seems like they are admitting they aren’t particularly close to competing with KC for a few years. If they thought they were a player or two away from really competing then I don’t think they make that trade. [Reply]
Final thought for Friday night: Brett Veach convinced the Ravens to send a Pro Bowl-caliber left tackle to their biggest competitor for the Lamar Hunt Trophy, and let him convert a third and fourth round pick into a second round pick.

Evidently, the Ravens and their local media think they fleeced the Chiefs according to 610. :-) [Reply]
I'm so pleased that I don't have to stay up late next Thursday. I love this team. I quit worrying about this shit awhile ago. Bartt Vader is gonna kill the NFL... [Reply]
