All aside, It's Diggs.

In the wake of the Diggs trade, a friend had this reaction and came up with the scenario below. Curious to know what people think because it actually seems genuinely plausible to me, and I'd love it:
"A bunch of you know, I've been hoping since February that Beane would trade Diggs for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. The fact that he was able to get what should be a high end #2 in 2025 is great.
What Beane did was jettison the 4 receivers that caught the ball at a 63% clip & kept the 3 guys that collectively caught it at an 82% catch rate. Shakir, Cook & Kincaid we're all top 30 in the league in that category [incidentally, Cook was 81.5 percent for 8.2 yards/target]. Even after these 3 guys sign their 2nd contracts, they should all remain good values for most of the remainder of Allen's career.
Here's 4 relatively conservative projections for 2024
Targets Yards Yards/Target
Kincaid 110 800 7.3
Shakir 80 800 10
Samuel 90 750 8.3
All RBs 80 650 8.1
That equates to 3,000 yards on 360 targets. Allen has averaged 36 attempts per game over the past 4 years. 36x17=612 which leaves 252 targets for Wr1, Wr2, Wr5 & Knox. Allen has never thrown over 4,600 yards in his career. If he were to average 7.9 yards per attempt on the remaining 252 attempts, then he would have thrown for 5,000. Just for perspective, Shakir led the league in yards/target last year at 13.6. Aiyuk was 2nd at 12.8 & Diggs was a pedestrian 7.4, unlike 2020 when he was 9.2
For me, ideally Beane couples pick #28 & our 2025 2nd round pick to either trade for Aiyuk, or move up to get Brian Thomas Jr. Then, if he took our 2025 first round pick to trade back into the 2nd round to grab either Legette or McConkey, that would be nice. We'd have the fastest & most dynamic set of skill players in team history.
It sounds like we can easily create North of 60 million in cap space for 2025 & free up a bunch more room in 2026. That's a fantastic kicker to this Diggs trade, because it'll allow us to target multiple pro bowl free agents in the next couple of years.All of these factors combined, will allow us to compete with KC for the next 8 years & we'll be able to view this trade for what it is ... a prelude to a parade!"
Do we like this? Asking for a friend...

it's 10.8 grams. that's equivalent to 0.38 ounces. which is nothing, and certainly doesn't rise to felony.
these aggregator accounts are awful.
Great optics for the Chiefs. The couple he hit are in for some coin.

I think the media is over-blowing and hyping our needs way more than what we actually need.
I motioned in another thread. it's not our needs that concerns me, it's the lack of elite players and gamechangers. I see the rest of the AFC leaders have several elite players in key positions. We have Josh and Milano, and that's it. I know Josh counts ten time more than other players, but we have good and competent players in other key positions, but not true difference makers. It's those players, maybe a play or two at crucial times in crucial games that make a SB champion. I see us as well behind several other AFC teams right now.

I agree. But if he’s got a hard on for Odunze I could see it happening.
I really don’t believe they have as many holes as others want to point out. If there was a year to make your move for a playmaker and game changer at the position, this is the year.
On this I totally agree. On your other point, it's not so much that we have that many holes, we just don't have enough elite players. I see other AFC teams with top five players in key positions. Outside of Josh and Milano, we have none. Granted Josh makes up for a world of woes, but we need a few more playmaker/game changers to keep pace in the AFC IMO.

I'll watch Florio and Simms from time to time. I used to like Good Morning Football. McAfee is entertaining. The rest are unwatchable and Nick Wright is just an ass-clown.

100%. He doesn’t make a move like this unless he’s got something planned. I really think it’s one of 3 options.
1. He packages a whole bunch to move up around the 10th pick for Nabors or Odunze
2. He packages less to move into the teens for Thomas Jr.
3. He packages some to move back Into the 2nd rd to grab a 2nd WR after having already picked one in the 1st rd.
Likely #2 or 3.

How exactly did we "nuke" the OL?
Morse was slightly above average some games, but mostly average. McGovern, Dawkins, Torrence and Brown return. Edwards as well.
Yes Connor likely moves to C. But that could be a very good thing. Morse didn't hold up against 3-4 style, or anytime DT was in a 0 or 1i technique.
Edwards and Collins battle it out for LG. Combined OL is just as good, if not better. With Torrence likely improving and Brown as well.
We haven't even had the draft and you're prognisticating a bad WR room. Let's see what happens in draft to start. 1st round WR and double dipping sometime later, and all of a sudden we might have a more diverse group since 2020
This ^ . Morse was routinely pushed around by a quality nose or 1 tech. Morse wasn't worth the cap it. Let's see what the draft brings.

Cuz the top 3 QBs could be gone and after them there's a bunch of ???
And the guy who gets drafted first could do squat (See 2023 draft). At 6, they'd be better off trying to move up this year.

Why would he Jints store picks to grab a QB next year? Do it at pick 6.

Well, he tore up his knee pretty badly and was still coming back from it last year. Could be a solid depth piece.

Some look at the Texans and say why? Beane looks at the Texans and says why not?

At least it's the strongest contender...

Gotta be honest. I lost faith in him down the stretch. His play, for whatever reason, fell off. He's replaceable.
Everyone's replaceable. My point is replacing half the team in one off season will take some time to mesh. At a time when AFC teams are making leaps and gains, we're playing catch up. By season's end, we should know if our second window is open or not. We absolutely pissed away Josh's first SB window.
-
It's a tall order to say you lose WRs 1&2, starting CB and your 2 safeties, some DTs, and a revamped OLine and say we're as good as we were. It's a necessary step back but a step back nonetheless. I hope it comes together in time to make a playoff run this season. KC is better, Cincy is back, Chargers look better, Browns, Jets and Ravens look good. And the Texans look like a breakout team. So precious little room for error. Diggs lost faith in this team, with good reason. We find ways to lose in crunch time. Maybe this latest talent turnover will fix that. I'm hopeful but not expecting it this year.

After we trade up and take Rome we will all be feeling better
going to take a lot more than next year's 2nd to do that.

After the shock of it, looks like a good long term move for the team and a year to work back into the SB window in 2025. Josh always gives us a chance, but likely we'll be good, but not in KC's class.

What's the dead cap? No we have no #1 receiver. So is Beane ssaying Mahomes did it without a clear #1, have at it Josh?

Jests being Jests aside, that is one helluva defense with several elite players and the rest good-to-great.

I'm just gonna keep posting this anytime someone brings up that game....Several factors contributed to the loss
1) 13 seconds
2) they had all three time outs left
3) they had Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill
4) some Bills players and coaches were already celebrating on the sidelines like the game was over
5) they only needed a FG to tie and go to OT.
I'll keep posting this:
1) A colossal failure on the part of the Coaches.
2) See #1

interesting piece in Washington Post about likely movement of vet WRs
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I doubt they do anything until after the draft. Likely most teams are in that mode. If DK is available afterwards, that may be a great get depending on who we draft.
