(CBSSPORTS) The Kansas City Chiefs have filled a big hole on the offensive line.
As first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Chiefs are shipping their first-round pick (No. 31 overall), plus other considerations, to the Baltimore Ravens for offensive tackle Orlando Brown Jr. Both clubs have confirmed the trade.
The Chiefs also receive Baltimores 2nd round pick this year and a 6th round pick in 2022.
Baltimore receives the Chiefs 1st, 3rd and 4th round picks in next weeks draft and a 5th round pick in 2022.
Brown, who has made two straight Pro Bowls, sought permission for a trade this offseason, expressing his desire to be a left tackle, which wasn’t going to happen in Baltimore with All-Pro Ronnie Stanley locked up long term.
Brown originally was a third-round draft pick out of Oklahoma, starting 10 of 16 games as a rookie in 2018. He blossomed in 2019 and helped replace an injured Stanley at left tackle last season, the position he’s expected to man in Kansas City.
Brown now goes from protecting Lamar Jackson to doing the same for the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes.
