Especially with the first #2 being Minnesota's. Decent chance that is a top 5 pick IMO. So in Beane's mind it will still likely be one top 35-40 pick plus our own 2nd rounder. That isn't so far off from what it would be normally. That definitely opens the door for trading next year's 1st if one of the top 3 WRs gets low enough. I think Odunze getting to #9 would be the trigger.

I give it a C. It's simply what needed to happen, no more no less.

Hilariously, we scored a TD on that first drive out of halftime while Diggs watched from the sidelines. We dialed up a deep shot to him on the first play of the next drive to try and get his head back in the game, but Allen overthrew him.

Reposting this because it's going to get lost in the thread: The Bills kept the issues under wraps for the most part. But anyone who knew someone close to the team was aware of his constant distractions, both in public and behind the scenes.

Aaron Kromer's daughter: Everybody around the team knew he was a headache and a distraction. I'm glad it is all finally coming out.

Yup. I hope that watching it from the sidelines in the midst of his tantrum made him feel stupid. But knowing his personality I'm sure it didn't change a thing in his ego poisoned mind.

Yeah that's the punchline of the whole thing - The ensuing drive they intentionally dialed up a deep shot to Diggs on the first play to get his head back in the game. Allen overthrew him 🤣

You know what, now is a good time to spill the beans on what I was told earlier this year - In the home Patriots game, Diggs chose to sit out the first drive of the 2nd half because he was upset with Allen's play in the 1st half. It wasn't an injury or part of the game plan. He decided to screw over his team and sit out a drive because he couldn't get over himself. I suspect other stories like this will come out in the coming days. A couple aren't mine to tell. Guy was a total headcase and a major distraction in more ways than one.

Yup. A lot of people buried their head in the sand. I'm still shocked this actually happened, but the signs have been there for a while and continued this offseason.

A lot of people on here and in the Bills content creation sphere just refused to accept what everybody else could see with their own eyes.

Honestly I hope Josh uses this as motivation. Go out there and prove Diggs isn't essential to your success. Shove it in his face.

If you didn't think his tweets meant anything, you were wrong. I'm guessing him taking a swing at his QB last night was the last straw for the team.

Ugh here we go again with the media making something out of nothing! Sure Adam Schefter himself tweeted out that Diggs is being traded but he's probably just reading into tweets. This is a nothing burger. Allen said he loves Diggs. Beane said he'll be on the team. I for one can't wait to see Diggs rocking the Bills red white and blue this September.

With the 22nd pick, the Philadelphia Eagles select Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson. Minnesota @Motorin' is on the clock. This is a case where BPA and need happen to match up perfectly. Darius Slay and James Bradberry are both on the wrong side of 30. Our secondary was the clear weakness on the team last year. Wiggins projects as a true #1 island CB at the next level. And with established veterans on the roster his development doesn't have to be rushed.

The fact that you had to re-word what he said kind of tells on itself, yeah? I've never seen another WR claim they are "essential" to their QB's success. Let's call this what it is. I still think he'll be on the team. My patience with his act is just totally worn thin at this point.

Starting to actively wish we trade him. Even if it costs more money for him to be off the team.

I wonder when Justin Simmons will sign. A very Brandon Beane-esque move that I considered would be signing Simmons after June 1 when Tre White's cap savings kicks in. It feels right.

I try to do a mix of both. For the Jets for example I personally would draft a QB in the 1st round, but knowing that the current regime is on the hot seat I would not choose a QB if I was picking for them.

Joe Marino broke down another set of WRs: Notably he really likes Legette and sees him as worthy of our pick at #28.

Yeah he has a type. He likes QBs with great physical traits and a great release. He bets on those traits and ends up wrong like 50% of the time. But I really can't remember a time when he was too low on a QB. Even Trevor Lawrence who he was lower on than others, I don't think the "generational prospect" label has come close to being true. So when Simms says he is lower than the consensus on a QB that is when I place more weight on his opinion.

I would be really surprised if he fell out of the top 3. But one thing going against him is Chris Simms ranked him as his #6 QB in the class. Some will roll their eyes at this, but while Simms has been too high on a couple QBs (most notably Zach Wilson) I can't remember a time where he ended up being too low on a QB. He seems to have a great eye for identifying mechanical issues that will lead to limited success in the NFL.

I would like WR Jha'Quan Jackson, Tulane, in round 6 or 7. He's Ed Reed's nephew. What I like about him is that if you're thinking of a depth WR who gets maybe 12 targets in an entire season you want someone that can create explosive plays with those limited reps. His acceleration and vertical traits give you that. There is some upside there that maybe he could turn into a productive slot/vertical receiver after a year or two of development. Most importantly for a late round sleeper he could immediately contribute on special teams as a kick and punt returner, under a new set of rules where that skill set matters maybe more than ever. NFL pedigree, explosive traits, special teams contributions. That's all you can ask for out of a late round flyer.

Derrik Klassen with Bleacher Report, whose opinion I really respect, wrote up his top 16 WR prospects: He breaks down what makes each of the prospects special in their own right. It's a fantastic read. His list in order: 1. Marvin Harrison Jr 2. Rome Odunze 3. Malik Nabers 4. Keon Coleman 5. Brian Thomas Jr 6. Jalen McMillan 7. Roman Wilson 8. Ja'Lynn Polk 9. Xavier Worthy 10. Ladd McConkey 11. Adonai Mitchell 12. Jermaine Burton 13. Xavier Legette 14. Malachi Corley 15. Troy Franklin 16. Ricky Pearsall

I did check to make sure it wasn't a sick April Fools joke, but no it's real. The news article confirms it. And his former college coach is the one that broke the news.
