I am usually on the opposite end of this thing when the Bills dont make the trade. Saying exactly what you said - if we can get player xyz you take that over the unknown draft pick. And I am usually met with - This FO values draft picks, too much talent in the draft, thats not how you build a team, etc etc. I was clamoring at the trade deadline to add a WR or pass rusher. I dont know how many people said we arent giving up a draft pick. I think many of those were specifically talking about Diggs and Hopkins.

Thats what people want and hope for...doesnt mean they are gonna get it. Just like drafting Allen vs signing a Kirk Cousins. You hope Allen will be better than a Cousins but no guarantees.

I would bet big $ that most on this board would be saying "wow, they gave up a ton for Diggs and he is not even a top 10 WR, is a head case and does not fit the process. I am good sticking with Brown, Beasley and Lamb/Jeudy/Riggs".

I think most people are "hoping" the guy picked at #22 or higher if trading up would be better than Diggs. Obviously no certainty but the build up to the draft is about these guys being generational talents etc. Diggs is good but not top 5 WR good which is what Lamb or Jeudy could be.

NFL players dont think or care about money. Its for the love of the game....

Prior to this trade there was a ton of talk about how loaded of a draft this is...

Many still

TB going to TB is meant TB. I am bored and tired of hearing about Tom Brady. Hopefully he is in TB then we wont here about him after about week 5.

What league are you watching? Confused with your Madden league? Johnson was never a top 3-5 back not sure even a top 20 back. And Diggs is a top 5? Hopkins only better by a bit? Hopkins is a future HOFer, multiple 1500 yd seasons, etc.

3/$36M is what I hear...

Littleton - word was he was not leaving Rams. Good player I would have liked on the Bills.

Are there still special teams tackles...

Brady decision made...Chargers?

Deal is done. But what do you think...

Going to be interesting. Bills WR's have shown some frustration in games with Allen.

I was speaking more generally in that this seems to be the approach they prefer. Maybe they would spend big for the right player.

I find it interesting that the approach seems to be not wanting to pay for the big $ free agents. However we are consistently willing to so spend $5-10M on guys. Are you better off with four guys averaging $8M for $32M or one star for $20M and three $4M per players?

Not getting enough catches...

Best season is 1130 yards.This was good for 17th in the league and right behind Robert Woods and a bit above John Brown. Dont get me wrong I do think he makes this team better. But to talk about him like he is a top 5 WR seems aggressive. Would love to see the Allen / Diggs connection lead to him becoming that but I dont think he is at that level yet.

Not sure $4.5M per for a ST player is a steal. Nice luxury to have $4.5M to spend on this type of player.

Still no $ on this deal...

3 and $30M it is. Hmmm maybe should have kept it at that price.

Agree - will get over Hooper and Conklin. Hopkins will sting awhile...
