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.

Sorry guys, enjoy all the Super Bowls now, because in a half-decade or so- we will be devoid of talent and in Cap Hell!!
It is completely irresponsible to try to win now with one of the best O lines in the NFL to protect our QB. The super-secret insider data PROVES IT!!
Thanks for sharing that.
They've also never given OBJ an elite grade in pass protection OR run blocking. Although he's been a key component in the best running attack in football the last 3 years. To go along with that, OBJ didn't even register a QB hit in pass protection in over 700 snaps at LT.
PFF has many flaws. They can start with their arrogance. [Reply]

Here’s how this is going to play out:
Brown will make the pro bowl at LT this year
KC will franchise tag him next offseason
KC will sign him to the biggest contract ever for an OL right before the draft.
My guess is 6 years, 141m. 50m guaranteed
And he will be worth every penny.
I agree with that. The finances will be much different by then. With the salary cap exoloding and Frank Clark likely not being on the books we'll pay OBJ. Indeed he'll be worth it.
Who knows, Reek may not be here as well. I hope he is though. [Reply]

Don't give a shit about Odell Beckham Jr. I am curious when he switched to LT though. [Reply]
Damn there's salty bitches in this forum actually trying to pan this trade? Some of you fucks will never be happy it's in the DNA. This is a great trade, I can see the questions regarding future cap but fuck it - Veach has done nothing but find ways to make it work so far so trust in the guy.
Orlando and Niang will be goated Chiefs bookends for a long time and I'm totally fucking ready for it. [Reply]
The last thing the PFF guys say before committing seppuku would probably be a poem about lotus blossoms and predicting the Chargers to win the AFC West [Reply]
The other PFF idiot Mike Renner says that the Chiefs are too top heavy and need to hit on draft picks, but now they can’t because they traded all of their picks!
Can somebody please tell this idiot that the Chiefs also got a 2nd back and have pretty much all of their future picks? [Reply]

The Chiefs helped the Ravens get better too. For all we know, we just gave them the keys to a player that could help them beat their kryptonite.
Last year I got the feeling that the NFC South was cross talking about the Chiefs. The were physical in punishing the offensive line. In many ways the AFL-NFL rivalry was on old school display. It might be an AFC nod to make the conference all together stronger [Reply]
