2nd rder was too high to pass up. Similar trades are mid round picks at best.

Mine aswell. That offense needs alot. Both thier lines need alot. They should trade out having another pick in the 30’s. If on the clock I dont see Tepper passing on Worthy for alot of non football reasons. Ie buzz and ticket sales.

With the 33rd pick the Carolina Panthers select Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas @TPS is now on the clock. Carolina needs weapons around Bryce Young. Tepper will see his combine speed and production at Texas and want him. Should they concentrate efforts to protect their toddler sized qb yes. Will they probably not.

His contract is why he is available. That would be part of the deal and possibly how they lower compensation. His yard per catch and target are very high. Would be a #1 on this offense and has big play ability.

The question on the qb pod asked by Jordan Palmer and Kyle Allen about this wr class is telling. He is looking at wr hard. He wanted Kincaid last year too. Allen will pick the guy he wants imo.

Anxiety is going on a 90 yard drive, going 7-8 ending in a qb sneak for a 6. And your #1 wr telling you he was open and you missed him. Not saying that exact thing happened but stories trickling out points to this being closer to reality than fantasy.

In NFL trade terms a middle to high second pick for a 30 plus wr is above market.

2 twos? 60 and the the Vikings 2nd. Ayuik last year had more yards and Tds than diggs on over 50 less targets. I would be all in on Ayuik. Instantly, steps in as a number one. Opens the first rd back up. I think if he is in play Beane will wait and see until draft night.

With Collins and Dell I think Diggs is in a similar position with less target share.

What will they do with Dell?

Trade all the way up. Go up after a sliding Thomas or Udunze. Wait and take Leggette. Those are the choices imo. Needing an early contributor imo changes the equation for me on who to take. Need someone capable of a good amount of snaps and able to play outside consistently.

Diggs will be productive in Hou. Curious how his target share will look. Averaging 160 targets over 4 years is an incredible amount. Even the games he did not produce he had his targets. Imo Allen will benefit from being the guy on offense. Every skill player in the draft will be over the moon to play with Allen. Hit the open guy, win and move on. Everything else is just noise.

My understanding he also changed positions. Was an athlete recruit. Played Qb in high school. Imo if you are looking for a little size to play outside I assume Thomas Jr is gone. Mitchell and Coleman though younger have not had a season like Leggette and I feel they will have a rougher transition. I like the potential of some other wrs more and have been vocal against Leggette. Rather bet more on potential. With Diggs gone they need a guy to play out of the gate. At 28 thats Leggette for me. I like the idea of Leggette than double dipping later. Prospects like Washington or Crowing.

With wr being a more immediate need I would look for a higher floor. Leggette fills a need and I think is better equipped to contribute rigjt away.

He wants 30 mil. I think 2 1st starts the conversation. Do the Vikings pay that to a wr without a qb. Does Jefferson sign an extension with them.

Move up for a Wr or use the added cap space and package a deal for a wr looking for his first contract. Ayuik, Higgins, Jefferson. I do not think Beane does this randomly without something in mind. He is quite calculated.

Look at the last 8 weeks. The team and offense went on a run when they made him less a focal point of the offense. He will benefit the AFC and playing in a dome. He will produce but at 31 and a big cap number its time to pull the plug if he is not committed.

He wasnt the decision maker in Carolina. Buffalo went all in and kept the 13 sec team together. That was the closest they ever got. Gotta rebuild. Cap space and draft capital in the future to reshape the roster was generated this year by cleaning out the aging core.

In terms of value a future 2nd is less the ideal for a top 5 wr. Curious how Chris Simms spins this. Multiple times down the stretch last year he stated that defenses were not going out of their way to take away Diggs. At most they might bracket him with a body and alignment but not truly doubling him. A 30 year old plus wr traded for a day 2 pick is about top of market. On paper its a loss we will see if on the field and standing if it will be. Compensation is about right. Truly and end of an Era for Bills football. Does not mean the team going forward cant meet new heights.

He was. This year was the first time where those situations flipped. Combination of relationship and maybe possibly projected decline.

I agree. Allen is/was not the get in your face and lead type. Maybe that was because he was sort of speak Diggs little big brother. That relationship was not one where Allen was an authority. Maybe by removing the older vets it pushes Allen to being a leader. By not having history with those around him it wont feel forced or out of place. Again this was not a 21 Sundays of the year move. This was the other 344 days of the year move.

The guy disappeared the last 3 years in the playoffs. Him not being on offense on paper makes the offense worst. This isnt paper its humans. The subtraction of Diggs for the 24 Bills will be interesting to see.

A 2nd for a 30 year old wr is above market. Heck Amari Cooper was traded for a 4th and was younger. I think the Bills were at the point to just move on. Have guys that want to be here and play with Josh. Take the medicine and move on. Having Diggs wont make Buffalo more or less likely to win it all.

With the Diggs news 28 is best available Wr?

Idk what happened or when but Josh and Diggs seamed off. Allen’s play the last few years has been better throwing to the open guy instead of force feeding Diggs. Wish him the best he was a great player for us.
