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.

That said, it's concerning for a guy who most of us had very high hopes for. He was beaten way more than I would have expected.
Pretty much this. I'm not sure I'm "concerned" yet, given that he was going against Garrett. [Reply]

Shocking!!
Agreed. Brown held his own and I fully expect him to improve as the season progresses. I think he’s well on his way of cementing the LT position, long-term. [Reply]
I'm far more worried about the defense than the OL. That being said, he had some bad snaps. New guy, new system, OBVIOUSLY not Lamar fucking Jackson. Again, far more worried about the D.

Probably more worrisome is they were in the same division. He's seen Garrett as much as anyone. It's not like it's some rookie getting fooled by tricky old man moves. He should have known what was coming. [Reply]
They allowed 2 sacks. PM had time to throw 300+ and 3 tds. In their FIRST NFL game together as a unit ever. Against a good defense and possible top 5 DL. Let that sink in for a few hours. Any other team and the whole run-up to the game all week would have been how badly Cleveland's D would abuse them. [Reply]

It's one game.
He played, honestly, like shit, but it's still one game... [Reply]

And an average age of 24 among the starters, and 3 of those starters having zero NFL starts between them.
It's going to come together for this unit at some point this season and, assuming they stay healthy, it's going to be a thing of beauty for years to come. [Reply]
