The Baltimore Ravens shocked the NFL world yesterday, trading Orlando Brown Jr. to an AFC rival in the Kansas City Chiefs. The move netted Baltimore a nice return, giving the Ravens six picks in the first four rounds, though they did have to part with their own second-round pick in the deal.

It also leaves Baltimore with a gaping hole at right tackle, but that may not be true for much longer. The Ravens have been rumored to have interest in signing former Pittsburgh Steelers' OT Alejandro Villanueva.

And Baltimore will also reportedly meet with another free-agent tackle this week in former Tennessee Titan Dennis Kelly.

Ravens Rumors

Kelly was a rock-solid starter for Tennessee last season. He played 1,046 snaps at right tackle and didn't allow a single sack, according to ProFootballFocus. Kelly also only was charged with two penalties, which is pretty impressive.

The 31-year-old could certainly start at RT for Baltimore if the two sides can reach a deal. But at the very least he'd provide some solid depth for an organization that suddenly needs some.
