We can take the cap hit this year, the contract can be done so that the last year isn't a huge hit and it stabilizes our line now. Still prefer we draft and develop our own.
Orlando Brown is still on his rookie deal and is only 24 years old. He is a proven 6' 8" 340 lb. proven commodity. Also with only one more year on his rookie deal, we lose nothing by letting him test free agency if he doesn't pan out.

I'm not against drafting a LT in parallel with a Brown trade, in fact I think it would be a wise move in a deep LT draft.

With that said, I'm not giving up our #1 for him.

The Ravens expect a #1 plus. Brown would then be in line for a huge extension. Ballard knows how to draft and this coaching staff has proved they can develop lineman. Big paydays for a bunch of lineman loom.

He'd be a cheap option for tackle for this year. But then he'd need to be resigned, along with Smith and Nelson. That would make the Colts O-line the most expensive in the NFL.
It would also make that o-line ridiculously good, but come at a price with the rest of the team.

Well that was inevitably going to happen when you spend high round picks on the oline and dline. The money goes somewhere.

I don't think we should go after him. Playing LT for other QB's is a little harder than for Jackson. There is a reason the two Raven's tackles had such a high rating.

D lines have to do bull rushes against Jackson in order to keep contain. If you break contain he is gone for a first down. So that played into Orlando Brown's strength who does best against bull rushes. Against less mobile QB's he will have to play against speed rushers and he will not do as well against them.

The Colts could go find a quality RT in FA and move Smith to LT.

If we had a franchise QB I would say “Hell yeah!”

Instead, since we decidedly don’t, we’re likely going to need the assets that we would trade for Orlando Brown in order to get our QB. Even if we only trade a 2nd for Wentz (for example), trading a 1 for Brown then essentially cancels our draft haul for 2021.

If you asked any GM if they could get a franchise LT and QB out of their first two picks in any given draft, would they be happy with that, any one that said no should be examined for serious mental health issues. It remains to be seen if that would be the case in that scenario, but the players wouldn't be available if some level of risk weren't involved.
