OWINGS MILLS, Md. — No one was surprised that the Baltimore Ravens traded Orlando Brown Jr. on Friday. The shocker was where he landed.
Why would the Ravens send Brown to the Kansas City Chiefs, the team standing in their way of getting to the Super Bowl?
This trade shows how much the Ravens covet draft picks and how general manager Eric DeCosta is unafraid to take risks. In DeCosta’s boldest move since replacing Ozzie Newsome two years ago, Baltimore sent a two-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman to the Chiefs to protect Patrick Mahomes’ blindside so the Ravens could load up in the first four rounds of this year’s draft.
