Could you be more specific?

The only post "above" this one is your latest one, because of I have my threads displayed "newest first".

Sorry, was half joking about KChiefs1 'victory lap' he was taking in this thread.

I guess he felt the need to point out everyone else's bad takes, something which I'm sure he's never done himself . . . . . . .

I didn't think there was any way the Ravens would trade him to KC. I still can't really believe they did, but thats their problem now.

For what they had to trade for him, it's a no brainer. He's young, experienced and an ascending player.

I think Darrisaw could end up a better player, but they coudln't trade up that high.

So this is the best of both worlds.

The best part of this trade is how little they paid.

Just spitballin' here....

It's almost like the Ravens made a good faith deal. In good faith for Brown, who, it's hard to believe was anything but a good soldier. And who also has family heritage tied to the team. They sent him to possibly the best place to find success. Talk about landing on your feet....

And to the Chiefs, as Harbaugh is part of Reid's coaching lineage.

I would not be surprised at all to learn that these two front offices have a great respect for each other, maybe even a great relationship with each other. Veach and DeCosta are close in age, both have an eye for talent. I bet there's some mutual respect there.

And look at the structure of the deal. There are many ways to create equal points value. The fact that they came to an agreement on the point value, and the fact that they structed it in a way that's hardly damaging to the Chiefs drafts at all, tells me the Ravens had no interest in trying to **** the Chiefs.

Maybe i'm just reading way too much into it because i smoked a bowl this morning.

But at the end of the day the Chiefs got a franchise blue chip LT and even moved UP from the 3rd round to the 2nd at the cost of only a couple of late round picks.

A blue chip LT for only a middle 2nd round pick. Veach did a fantastic job!

I always thought trading for Brown was a better option than trading up.

What changed was how I saw the trade for Brown against the options OTHER than trading up, especially knowing in hindsight that we got a 2nd round pick out of the deal.

My list kind of looked like this:

1. Trade down.
2. Stay put.
>
5. Trade for Brown.
>
100. Trade up.

As of about two weeks ago, it was kind of like this:

1. Stay put.
>
4. Trade for Brown.
5. Trade down.
>
1000. Trade up.

About Wednesday of last week, it just kind of hit me that trading for Brown was probably a great situation for both he and KC. He quickly moved to the #2 option for me and then the trade happened on Friday and we all saw that 2nd rounder come in.

By far the best possible outcome in my mind.

Fantastic outcome IMHO. :clap:

We got a guy that's better than any LT in the draft with our 1st round pick and we've moved up from the 3rd round to the 2nd.

That's the current 2021 draft situation for the Chiefs.

At the cost of a few mid/late round picks, one of them being next year's.


Excuse me sir while i guffaw.

Yep. Like I said yesterday, this trade for me is 2nd only to the Mahomes draft in terms of how ecstatic I am.

Even if they find 5 new offensive linemen somewhere, none of them are going to be massive, road grading offensive linemen. Andy Reid doesn't even draft that type of guy.

Yeah, doing a self bump here. I think I earned it.

The Chiefs did EXACTLY what I said they should and people told me they wouldn’t.

I’m not saying I personally know Burt Vick and he does what I tell him, but I mean in this case it sure seems possible. 😋

Wisconsin_Chief 05-01-2021 08:35 PM

Massive, mauling beasts.

All over our o-line.

I love Andy and I love this team.

Don't hate it as long as we don't sign him to the biggest contract in the league at that position.

It's still TBD. Brown was decent his first year, seems to be in great shape and motivated heading into year two. He didn't hold out or show up out of shape which is a great sign.

I still think it was by far our best option when the trade was made, and I feel like Brown is going to play great this year. Everyone should sure as hell be hoping he does.

Feeling good. He's definitely not the main concern on the line this year, even if I still need to see him dominate against a great speed rusher.

This question needs to be asked once more this time next year, tbh.
