The Kansas City Chiefs are trading their first-round pick in Thursday night’s NFL draft, along with three other picks in the 2021 and 2022 drafts, to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for Pro Bowl offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and one pick in the 2021 draft and another in 2022, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The full trade, sources told Schefter:
Kansas City gets: Brown, a 2021 second-round pick (No. 58) and a 2022 sixth-round pick
Baltimore gets: a 2021 first-round pick (No. 31), a third-round pick (No. 94), a fourth-round pick (No. 136) and a 2022 fifth-round pick
With the deal, Kansas City continues to shuffle its offensive line this offseason, having already signed center Austin Blythe and guards Joe Thuney and Kyle Long during free agency. They also expect to have guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and tackle Lucas Niang back this season after they were COVID-19 opt-outs in 2020.
Brown will be another significant boost. He is one of four offensive tackles selected to the Pro Bowl in each of the last two seasons, along with David Bakhtiari, Terron Armstead and Laremy Tunsil. And according to ESPN Pass Block metrics powered by NFL Next Gen stats, he has a pass block win rate of 91.3% over the last two seasons, 12th among all offensive tackles.
