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.

Even speaking generally, high upside pass rushers are more valuable than “serviceable” LTs. I don’t see how that’s really debatable. [Reply]

High upside pass rushers aren't generally available in the late first though is what I'm saying. I get last year you had one or two, but looking back at the past 7 or 8 drafts thats not likely to happen. [Reply]

It obviously varies from year to year, and there are no guarantees, but there are plenty of guys that fit the bill THIS year.
Jermaine Johnson, Myjai Sanders, Travon Walker, Drake Jackson etc.
All high upside pass rushers.
That group is ridiculously better than the LT group outside of the top 20 picks. [Reply]
The real discussion needs to be finding a long term RT. Everyone wants Niang to be that guy but he may just be a bit too injury prone. Penciling him in as an above average swing tackle on a rookie deal isnt the worst. [Reply]

They’re not good and they’re brokedicks. Serviceable implies that they are even available most of the time. They are not good examples to prove your point whatsoever. [Reply]

I haven't paid any attention to the draft this year yet, will be interesting to see play out.
I just don't see high impact rushers making it to our pick if they're as billed. We shall see though. [Reply]

I'd guess you go the vet competition route again like this year or maybe draft someone in the 2nd/3rd? [Reply]

Yeah. Take another high upside talent that falls. Veach ways seems to be interested in a couple of those per year. Niang could be the guy still, BTW. [Reply]
