kingseanjohn Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 My first impression is that I'm not happy with this. Our team is way too top heavy in contracts and now we're gonna have to pay Brown too. Maybe I'll feel different after I think about it some more, but I really don't like it tbh.

FinSting Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Crap just when the Chiefs had an exploitable weakness, they have corrected the exploitable weakness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayheykid Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I like this a fair bit more for the Chiefs than I do the Ravens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Just now, RaidersAreOne said: I'm surprised they couldn't get more for him still. Dude has made Pro Bowls (I know) at both RT and LT, while being extremely young and a rising star. Sure he's going to demand a massive contract next year but a proven borderline elite talent at LT is worth it. He played in a super run heavy scheme and in pass pro his pressure rate was largely just solid. He's very solid, but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGK Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 14 minutes ago, MikeT14 said: Seems to value (on quick math) Brown at a mid to late 2nd rounder, so all in all okay That's if you're using the Jimmy Johnson trade chart. With both of these FO's being more analytically minded, the better value chart to look at is probably the Harvard one. When I cut out the 2022 5th/6th swap the Harvard chart says they were valuing Brown as about the 20th pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decosta will still be wheeling and dealing on draft day. Wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens get back into the second round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy to give up #45 for Brown any day of the week. 1 minute ago, 49erurtaza said: That's a great pickup with what you gave up and got back. It has more to do with our cap situation and what's going to have to happen to pay him long term.. We don't need another player that needs paid top 5 at his position, we need depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap space vs protecting the most valuable asset in the sport for a decade..... You don't hear a single Ravens' fan saying the Chiefs messed up do you? 1 minute ago, samsel23 said: It has more to do with our cap situation and what's going to have to happen to pay him long term..

pwny Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 But I was told that they would easily be able to get #25 and #33 overall for just him and that a certain Ravens fan would quit being a fan of the team if they didn’t get that value. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleeced?? We wen't from 7 picks to 9 and gave more ammo to move around to Decosta. I'm thrilled with the return, bring in some good young talent on cheap contracts and build through the draft. This is what the Ravens do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betting your odds to win another SB soon >>> needing depth in a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
