    We just traded 4 picks for Stefon Diggs

    Correct. Maybe I’m missing your point, but the picks we gave up this year in the late rounds weren’t likely to have made the team anyway. Not unless we hit the jackpot. Shoot, the late round picks we still have may not make it. And that’s even if we use them. I’ve got no problem with what they gave up for Diggs. Rather him than Justin Jefferson this season. I’d also have no problem if they went back to the well at receiver in round 2 or 3 if that’s what their board dictates. Injuries happen and we could use an upgrade at the number 4 receiver spot.

    Foster plays special teams. 

     

    He covers kicks. 


    Foster, McKenzie and Roberts all contribute on special teams. It's why when Zay Jones lost his job, they sent him packing because he was never going to dress again. 

     

    I'd love Higgins, but if you pick him then get rid of Beasley and give Brown and Diggs more reps from the slot. 

     

    Unless you do that, go another route.

     

    I find it impossible to imagine a team using their 1st, 2nd and 4th round picks on WRs in the same draft. 

    I don’t think anyone is proposing being reckless with our selections, but we are finally in a position with this roster to stack talent. Granted, we all have our preferences, but this offense struggled to score points last year. “Only” thing we’ve done to address it is add Diggs. Now, that’s a big “only” thing, but a lot of us prefer they can keep up with the Jacksons and the Mahomes and not always have to rely on the D to bail us out with razor thin margins of error. Personally, I don’t want to prioritize our top pick on a Big/buffalo nickel that may amount to nothing but special teams. Now, if you want to draft a pass rusher, I won’t fight you on that.

    Joe B keeps saying it’ll be Dugger... 

    Ugh. He may turn out to be a stud, but I struggle to get on board with this. In the third, sure, why not. But why take a dude with your top pick from a tiny program who may not amount to anything more than a special teamer? If you want a Swiss Army knife, then take Shenault and help the offense. Majority of FA went to defense. Unless it’s edge, address the offense. 
     

    Edit: For the record, I’m not saying they should take Shenault. But, I’d rather have him than Dugger. Hope Dugger is gone before he reaches our pick.

    They wanted to move Diggs but they had to replace him.  They've got no other receiving threat opposite Thielen. 

    I get that. Just seems like you would’ve tried everything you can do to make it work with the proven commodity if the plan is to backfill with what will likely be a lesser player. At least for 2020. But...I guess they tried and he wanted out. Our gain.
