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.

And clearly, you're wrong.
If the Ravens didn't trade Brown for a 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th round picks, they'd be stuck with a disgruntled player who refused to play anywhere other than left tackle.

I don't want either one of them lining up for the Chiefs as a WR next season. JAG, Garbage, IDGAF. We need a good WR draft pick in the 2nd rd. Period [Reply]

Yeah it a bit worrisome that they moved him to the right. I trust Veach though he has fixed LG Center and now LT. Strengthened RG so LDT better be getting in football shape. It is very possible they will continue to work with Niag at LT them make a decision on whether to extend Brown or convince him he is a RT. [Reply]

There's no way they're going to try to sell him on RT. Brown was demanding a trade specifically because he didn't want to play that. [Reply]

What?
No man.
Brown is the LT, and will likely be for the next 5 years or more.
Niang will play RT, as he did all through college.
He might've been able to play LT, but no need to switch now. [Reply]
