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.

Are you kidding me??? I hope that comment was filled with sarcasm.
We are already an exponentially better team from the results of this draft. I will already take this type of draft. I want a Super Bowl Champion type of fun again - there is nothing that compare to that. [Reply]

Another option in the receiving game would be a lot more powerful.
^this^ or Mahomes methodically walks to the line, assesses the defense, see they only have 6 in the box and most likely plan on dropping 8 into coverage, Mahomes gives to CEH on an RPO for 8 yards... [Reply]

Veach could easily trade out of our original second and get the 3rd, 4th, and 5th back according to the draft chart. In which case this is the 31 pick for Brown and a higher 2nd, 3rd, 4th, plus a higher 5th next year.
