Baltimore received some healthy NFL Draft compensation in a first-round pick (No. 23 overall) and the 100th pick for Brown.

The Ravens kept their trading hat on shortly after, shipping the 23rd pick to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for a two-spot drop off to 25 and the 130th pick slated for the fourth round.
While Lamar Jackson clearly isn't enthused by losing Hollywood Brown, the player they got with the pick might be someone he'll grow to love even more. The Ravens used the 25th selection on Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum, who ranked as the highest rated run-blocking talent in Pro Football Focus history. That sounds perfect for the biggest QB run threat in the game.

Baltimore also used their earlier 14th pick on safety Kyle Hamilton, a lethal lockdown artist from Notre Dame. While losing Marquise Brown at wide receiver definitely stings, the Ravens have piled on young talent early in the NFL draft.
