Ravens get Chiefs #1, other picks for OT Brown

Ravens get Chiefs #1, other picks for OT Brown … The back end of the opening round of the 2021 draft got a bit of a shake up this afternoon as Baltimore has traded OT Orlando Brown to Kansas City for the Chiefs’ opening round selection this year – #31 – along with the 94th (third round) and 136th (fourth round), while the Chiefs will get the Ravens second round pick, the 58th overall selection. To complete the deal the teams also swapped 2022 picks with the Ravens getting a 5th from KC while the Chiefs get Baltimore’s 6th rounder next year. With the Chiefs, Brown is expected to take over at LT in place of Eric Fisher, who was released earlier this year. And with the completion of the deal, the selection order for the 2021 draft has been updated, as well as the picks by team by file. With the net acquisition of two 2021 picks, Baltimore now has 9 totals selections including those two in the late first round, while Kansas City is down to just 6. However, at least on paper this appears to be a pretty good deal for the Chiefs. When the late second round pick the Chiefs received from the Ravens is factored in, the net value of the trade works out to be for an early second round pick for whom Brown, a young, rising NFL player is pretty darn good value. Certainly, he appears to be a better player than anybody the Chiefs likely would have been able to select with the 31st pick in this year’s opening round.
