So...y'know...the 2nd time you've looked at this incorrectly in 2 posts.
When the trade is made with a win-now component to it, you HAVE to consider the fact that they...won now. And when it's a trade made with a team that is presumptively a rival and obstacle to that winning, the fact that it weakens them as well HAS to be considered.

That is correct, I'm not calculating the outcomes -- not as much as others, anyway. I think both teams had different goals, anyway.
The Chiefs were trying to plug a major hole on the roster, and they slam-dunk did that while adding a Top 5 linebacker.
The Ravens had a disgruntled tackle who wasn't going to play for them, and they wanted to recoup value. They have netted, directly and indirectly from the trade, three long-term starters for the team.
That's good value for both teams, but in my opinion the best value was for Kansas City.
