Philadelphia moved down five spots in the third round and received an extra sixth-round choice, then used that bonus pick on Jason Kelce. Kelce started all 193 games of his Eagles career, made seven Pro Bowls, earned six first-team All-Pro selections and won a Super Bowl. Baltimore got tackle Jah Reid, making this one of the clearest draft-day trade wins in Eagles history.
Baltimore Ravens Received
- pick 2011 3rd round pick (85th overall, Jah Reid)
Philadelphia Eagles Received
- pick 2011 3rd round pick (90th overall, Curtis Marsh)
- pick 2011 6th round pick (191st overall, Jason Kelce)
Trade Analysis
Why Baltimore Moved Up
Baltimore sent picks No. 90 and No. 191 to Philadelphia for the 85th selection in the 2011 draft. The Ravens used the higher pick on Central Florida tackle Jah Reid, adding size and developmental depth to an offensive line that was supporting a perennial playoff roster. On draft night, the price was a routine third-round move-up.
What Philadelphia Received
The Eagles selected cornerback Curtis Marsh at No. 90 and center Jason Kelce at No. 191. Marsh had a limited NFL role, but Kelce changed the entire evaluation. He won the starting center job immediately as a rookie and never gave it back when healthy. Across his career he started 193 regular-season games, all for Philadelphia.
How Kelce Created a Historic Gap
Kelce became one of the most decorated players in franchise history. He made seven Pro Bowls, was named first-team All-Pro six times and anchored the offensive line that helped Philadelphia win Super Bowl LII. His athletic style became central to the Eagles' offense across multiple coaching eras. Reid, by contrast, was primarily a reserve in Baltimore and later continued his career elsewhere.
Why This Trade Still Matters
The deal is a reminder that the extra pick in a move-down can matter more than the selection that initially attracts attention. Philadelphia gave up only five spots, still made a third-round pick, and gained a sixth-rounder that became a franchise icon.
Final Verdict
Philadelphia Eagles Win. Kelce's extraordinary career makes this an A+ outcome for Philadelphia. Baltimore gets a D: Reid was a legitimate NFL player, so the move was not empty, but the opportunity cost became enormous once the extra pick turned into Kelce.
