Orlando Brown Jr on the block

[Basbear]

Steal for the chiefs til you have to write that 20+ million check. 

move what 27 spots down, at a draft point where 31 to 58 isnt a drop in skill/talent.

All that for a young LT??? Great move for KC, its rare to see Ravens lose in trades, but this is L. Id rather kept Brown ifs thats alll he brought, fyi.

What I do not understand is why would the Ravens trade him? Do they have 2 elite LT's or what? I don't understand why they would get rid of a top talent like that.

They have a First Team All-Pro LT (the highest paid offensive lineman in the NFL - he was hurt last year). 

Brown wants to be paid like an All-Pro LT . He has one year left on his contract. Sometimes you've just got to bite the bullet.

Yes they had 2 elite LTs. Ronnie Stanley is coming back from injury this year and Brown only wanted to play LT.

Their starting LT (stanely) got a ACL injury early season (i think week 2). Brown moved form RT to LT, didnt miss a beat... Off-season he twatts out Im a LT. They just paid Stanely the gold mountain and didnt want issues or to pay two OT. I would not care if hes only worth 27 spots down, hes a professional and you got a MVP QB. Hell thats 3rd comp value, just a big get for KC. Shocked the ravens took that.

I bet they literally can't afford to pay him and Jackson (who's out of contract next year).

At the end of the day they drafted him in the third round got 3 years of good-great play out of him and got a bunch of picks for him.

I'd love to lose that kind of trade every year as a Panthers fan. 

Btw the Chiefs are building a super team. Seems NFL franchises have finally found a way around that dreaded Salary Cap nonsense, eh?

These are the types of moves we should’ve done for Cam in his prime. You have an all pro qb you make big splashes to protect him.

I agree, money is always the reason/issue. There have been ting whispers about Ravens looking at QBs.....cause 45 million is what nearly 20% your cap....I swear 5th year and 3 years of tag maybe the route for Jackson. 

Chiefs were about to sign Trent Williams, Im sure to some mega deal. No idea how after they paid Kelce, Jones, and Mahomes half a billion. Williams called Klye and was like" We need to do something NOW, cause Im signing with KC in a few if not...."

If thats it for Brown, Id kept him for sure. Maybe Stanely has issues coming back, need insurance cause your goal is SB....... where you will be playing the chiefs it seems..... I bet the chiefs take risky players in the draft too, watch out...

Eh, maybe if he had more than a year on his deal. They'll either lose him or pay him$20m per year. Makes sense for them, not for us in my opinion.

[Peon Awesome]

For those complaining that Greg Little's combine should have made him an obvious pass in the draft: Orlando Brown's combine performance made Little look like Aaron Donald. It was historically abysmal. That's why he dropped to the 3rd round. One example of why the combine, while important, isn't the end all be all.

Taking another team's cast-offs is always a sure-fire road to success.

Really?  You think this is ok?

Big, fat PASSSSSS.  Chiefs got fleeced.  They got a guy now who is going to want 15 mil+ per season for at least four years . . . and gave up THREE PICKS THIS YEAR.  Very glad we were not in on that.  We have Moton.  That's enough franchise tackles.
