papasmurfbell Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Now I see it via shatter. But it looks like we give up a lot of equity along with brown. Basically it looks like a 2nd round pick for him. I think he is worth more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 NBC Sports: Ravens trade Orlando Brown Jr. to Chiefs, get 2021 first-rounder. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/04/23/ravens-trade-orlando-brown-jr-to-chiefs-get-2021-first-rounder/ Baltimore will get the Chiefs’ first-, third-, and fourth-round picks this year and a 2022 fifth-rounder while sending their 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 sixth-rounder to Kansas City. They now have the 27th and 31st picks of the draft and the Chiefs will pick 58th and 63rd next week Not bad, basically moving up from round two to the 31st, getting an extra 3rd & 4th round pick. Not sure they could get much better in this climate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I like the trade...gives them 2 first rounders and they can use them to trade up or back along with the other ammo. Probably trade the 31st into the 2nd for a pick there and maybe get another 3rd. I wouldn't draft an OT in the first round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmax Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I understand why this had to be done yet I will really miss Zeus Jr. The team will too. He was a lightning rod on that O line and played at a high level. He is Ravens family. And to the Chiefs! The Ravens really helped them out and hurt themselves when they play KC. He stands a very good chance of getting a SB ring there. The Ravens got great value for him. They turned a 3rd round pick into gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldno82 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Maybe, but realistically speaking, how much more? TBH, I would've rather had Brown than Stanley but Stanley's contract kills that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurfbell Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 If we gave a 3rd instead of a 2nd it would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 (edited) Chiefs still have to sign him................. Quote For this trade to work, the Chiefs need to sign Brown for the long term -- he's headed into the final year of his contract -- but if they were able to load a hefty long-term offer for Williams before he declined, they'll have the necessary money for Brown...Orlando Brown completes Kansas City Chiefs' transformation of offensive line since Super Bowl - Kansas City Chiefs- ESPN They have to hit Cap Jail someday. Plus they lose a lot of drat capital. Quote While this trade fills a critical need for Kansas City, Brown is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and will be looking for an extension soon. With no deal currently struck at the time of the trade, the club does run the risk of losing the player after one season or needing to place the franchise tag on him next offseason. The price to acquire him combined with the lack of an extension leaving his future a bit murky at the moment....Orlando Brown trade grades: Chiefs bolster O-line for Patrick Mahomes while Ravens collect major draft assets - CBSSports.com Edited April 23, 2021 by vmax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Quote Baltimore Ravens The Ravens rid themselves of a player who wanted out and got a strong return for him, so there's not a lot to complain about here. While Brown played well at left tackle in 2020, the club is getting Pro Bowl tackle Ronnie Stanley back healthy for next season so there shouldn't be much of a talent drop-off at that position. Meanwhile, veteran Alejandro Villanueva is expected to replace Brown at right tackle so the Ravens have all of their bases covered in his departure. That said, the club will likely need to look for a long-term solution at right tackle as Villanueva will be 33 this season. The Ravens now have two first-round assets (No. 27 and No. 31) to move around the board if they so choose and are just one of only four teams that currently own multiple first-round picks in this year's draft. The big need for the club is to add another talented receiver into the mix for Lamar Jackson. If one starts to fall into the mid-to-late teens, Baltimore now has plenty of ammo to move up the board to go get him. Of course, they could also simply elect to take players with each of their first-rounders and address more than one position of need (receiver and edge rusher). What this trade did for Baltimore is turn an expendable asset into draft flexibility, which is exactly what clubs want this time of year. The addition of that first along with multiple selections on Day 2 and Day 3 completely opens up the board for Baltimore......

papasmurfbell Posted April 23, 2021 Author Share Posted April 23, 2021 Not my problem if they can't sign him. If they wasted draft capital on him like we did with nganou great. That said I solid 1st round return should have come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
