    I text my friend that after the long bomb TD catch, Diggs just high 5 teammates and jogged off the field….I said something is up.  Diggs didn’t seem into it anymore.

     

    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 🤣

  2. 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.

    Funny part is that even with this trade, people won’t believe that his cryptic tweets were messages. They simply won’t get it.

     

    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.

    Gregg over at Cover 1 must be in shambles. 

    He parrotted all year that Diggs was a must or likely restructure this year. 

     

    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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

    But I don't take him saying he feels it's incorrect to say he's not important to Josh's success as some major "not cool" slap in the face.

     

    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.

    This brings up a good question. Are we supposed to draft like we would or like we think the team will?

     

    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.

    His record the past few years is not great. Loved Drew Lock. Loved Zach Wilson. High on Kellen Mond. High on Matt Corral. 

     

    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 think people are going to be surprised when Drake Maye slips out of the top 3 and possibly even out of the top 10.  He has bust written all over him.

     

    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.

  11. 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.

  12. 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

    Is this real? Or an April fools he quit halfway through life joke?

     

    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.

  14. Not a lot of info yet...

    Quote

    A death investigation is underway after a body was found at a residence in Southwest Ranches.

     

    Davie Police and the Broward County Medical Examiners Office arrived at the scene in the area of Southwest 178th Avenue, Monday morning.

     

    Police said that a male was found deceased at the home. No foul play was involved, police said, as they continue to investigate.

     

    According to property records, the home is owned by Adaline Davis, who is former Miami Dolphins cornerback Vontae Davis’ grandmother.

    and the Bengals have proven getting torn apart by Mahomes in the playoffs isn't an inevitability 

     

    Only the Bills have this problem every year. The Chiefs were shut out in two entire halfs over the AFCCG and Super Bowl. Every defense they've ever faced from the divisional round on has put up a better fight than we ever have. I'm not asking for us to shut them out for an entire half. Just a decent defensive performance would practically guarantee us a win.

    99% of the this fanbase is completely clueless, so whatever they hate is usually the right move.

     

    Yeah we should have gone with your idea and drafted Trenton Simpson in the 1st last year. Nevermind that he almost made it to our 3rd round pick. His 1 sack and 2 TFL on the season surely would have been the difference. Why he even played 61% of special teams snaps. If the rest of us weren't so clueless maybe we would have foreseen this elite production.

    For those advocating for Coleman due to his size, then why aren’t you advocating for Leggette and Mitchell who are just as big but come with elite speed and terrific separation with cleaner hands ?

     

    I like Legette too, his package of physical traits is tantalizing. The concern on him is he is 27 months older than Coleman so I worry that he is already close to his ceiling. I prefer high upside in my 1st round picks if it can be helped.

     

    Mitchell I don't see a physically dominant player on tape. He has the look of a good all around WR2. I'd be fine with him in the 1st round but I fear that he wouldn't ever give us a true #1. It is kind of the poor man's version of Jerry Jeudy coming out where everyone agreed he was a very good well rounded WR but at this stage his lack of one elite trait has limited his ceiling in the NFL.

     

    I've ultimately decided my preferences are Coleman, Legette, and Franklin, in that order and with more separation between Coleman and Legette than Legtte and Franklin. After that I would be happy with Thomas (I don't think he will be at 28 in any case) then Mitchell. Then there is a drop off to the next batch which for me is Worthy then McConkey. After that I think you're getting into prospects that I wouldn't consider until the middle of the 2nd round or later.

     

    So for me there are 7 WRs that I would be at least happy with at #28, although the last 3 I would feel better if it came after a trade down.
