developing.

The #Ravens are trading LT Orlando Brown to the #Chiefs, per me and @MikeGarafolo. A new blindside protector for Patrick Mahomes.

How could anyone object to using a first rounder on a stud, multi-pro bowl player that is age 24? This is an out of the galaxy home run for KC.

Hes a year younger than Mahomes, so barring injury, this is the blindside protector for the better part of Mahomes' career.

Weve committed fully to protecting our investment, something the Colts never did, and cut their star qbs career incredibly short.

With this line and Mahomes' talent, the sky is the limit for what he could do this year.

Brown comes with question marks... how will he transition from the Ravens physical/run blocking scheme to the Chiefs majority pass blocking scheme... but he is the best available option at LT for the Chiefs currently and this fills their final major roster need.

Now the Chiefs have flexibility in the draft to address WR depth, TE2, etc.

Awesome trade and now I'm excited for the draft. Like a lot of fans I've been blah since the SB. Now my positivity has returned and I'm thinking 'Let's go three in a row and a two out of three ain't bad.'

How does our new OL rank amongst the rest of the league?

The left side of that line is possibly the best in the league.

Center is decent. Good run blocker, but a meh pass blocker. He’ll be helped out a lot by having Thuney next to him.

The right side is decent at worst, and exceptional at best. If Niang is what some think he can be and Long returns to form...look out.

I’d say at worst this is a top 10 OL. At best, this could be top 3-5.

And that’s before the draft. You never know who might fall to us.

I still can't believe DeCosta would be this dumb? Trading your best available tackle to your immediate rival and getting very little compensation? This guy seems to value more the accumulation of draft picks than high end talent. What an idiot.

Now defenses are going to get smashed with the run when they drop 7-8 and only rush with 3 or 4.

Even more so if we draft one of the stud rookie Centers.

Clyde is going HAM next season.

How about Dickerson, Hudson, or Mienez + Fisher on the right side?
