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.

Can somebody please tell this idiot that the Chiefs also got a 2nd back and have pretty much all of their future picks?
Wouldn't matter anyways. These guys are set on one model and Veach operates on another. Considering Veach's model has led to back to back SB appearances (one win) and we are the favorite to win again, I think Veach just might know what he is doing. [Reply]

I am not a fan of OBJ either. Every time I see it I think Odell Beckham Jr. [Reply]

He told them he was playing LT or wanted to be traded. They traded him.
It was a distinct possibility. At the very least, it's an ongoing distraction.
It seems like you're going to great lengths to defend a position ("the Chiefs will never trade with the Ravens") that was actually proven dead wrong. [Reply]

There is no position on the Ravens nearly as important to their team as LT is to the Chiefs. They're just not built that way. Yeah, they need more talent at WR, but they could have prime Jerry Rice and the improvement he would bestow upon the Ravens with Lamar at QB still isn't to the level that OBJ can elevate our offense.
Yes, those picks will make the Ravens better, but OBJ will make the Chiefs better-er. It's all relative.
Well, those extra picks that the Ravens got could be ammunition to trade up and get Justin Fields, according to Bucky Brooks. I'd say Baltimore with 75% of Lamar's legs but 150% of his passing arm would be pretty fucking dangerous. [Reply]

That's exactly what happened.
He didn't decide after two years at RT that he wanted to be moved to LT.
He decided after more than half of a season at LT he didn't want to go BACK to RT.
He believed he proved he could play LT and wanted to stay there. [Reply]

There's other options - Zeus had more than one son.

There are any number of possibilities you can throw out like that. And we could somehow draft someone with their pick in the 2nd that turns out to be a huge differencemaker for us.
I don't think that I'm more afraid of a Ravens team with an untested Fields. But they should absolutely be more afraid of a Chiefs team with a complete OL. [Reply]

If they don't want Lamar, they should trade HIS ass and collect the picks from that. Doesn't do much good to continue building around limited guys like Fields if you don't have the spare draft capital to actually build around them.
And by limited, I don't mean physically or talent-wise. I just don't think Fields will be very good at all. [Reply]
This year's draft to me almost felt like the year the Chiefs drafted Big Fish. No clear cut choice, no one really jumping out as the obvious pick. That was one of the worst years ever to have the #1 pick and Because Chiefs. This year, no good value picks expected to make it to #31 because of the # of 1st round grades on most boards. I think losing Williams and getting Brown Jr. will be looked back on in a decade as one of the best "hand of fate" moves in a long time. Especially getting the 2nd back in return. [Reply]
