I absolutely do not understand the willingness to trade up in the draft but not being willing to trade for Brown.
It tells me they haven't looked close enough at this draft class beyond the top 2-3 guys. Many of them have "run first" or "right tackle" written all over them and that's the prevailing criticism of Brown. The difference is that we KNOW he can play NFL tackle at a pro bowl level.
This place just can't help but throw away any semblance of reason when something like the game in February happens. ChiefsPanic.

I can't speak for the quality of draft prospects, because I don't follow them at all, but otherwise 100% agree.
In fact, it kind of defies logic really....
My only concern is winning Super Bowls, and Orlando Brown increases our odds of doing so probably very significantly, and certainly to a much higher degree than an unproven rookie....if all that cost us was pick 31, then sign me up! If all I give up is some cap space, and #31, and have the remainder of our picks to add talent....even freaking better
I don't ever think anything is a "slam-dunk".....but this to me is as close as it probably comes. If OB can be had for #31....you do it all day every day and twice on Sunday....
