Ravens preparing to trade Orlando Brown Jr.
Sounds like the Ravens are preparing for the almost certain trade of Brown Jr. sometime during the draft. I think the odds of them trading him during the draft are about 90%. The odds they trade with the Vikings considerably lower. But we'll see...
A piece of interesting free agent news: #Steelers FA OT Alejandro Villanueva is set to visit the #Ravens this week, league source said. With some moving parts on Baltimore’s O-line, they plan to check out Villanueva in person.

If Sewell gets to #8 I have to imagine the Vikings would get rather aggressive.I can see Detroit looking at the 2022 QB draft class, looking at Jared Goff, then looking at Justin Fields falling in their laps and yelling "Hallelujah!".

Then when player A surprises by falling to them, they still go with player B.
#5 being an O-lineman regardless if its Sewell or Slater probably means both are off the board or not within reach of the Vikings.

If Sewell goes #5 and Slatter goes high as well, whats the chances Darrisaw goes before 14 as well?
LAC is the team most likely to draft Darrisaw prior to #14. Their OL is as bad as Minny's, maybe worse.

They are definitely a problem at 13. It's hard to see all three of Sewell, Slater and Darrisaw gone in the first 13 picks with all those QBs, WRs, and CBs, but it is possible. If so, just take the edge. Or trade down a bit for Jenkins, who i might like even more than Darrisaw.Thinking there's about an 80% chance that our pick will be one of the following: Slater, Darrisaw, Paye or Phillips.
Brown wants a massive contract at a time when the Salary Cap is reduced.
He wants to move from RT to LT
And he wants to be traded to another team.
It's unlikely but I wonder if the Ravens wind up keeping him in 2021.
