Ignoring the later picks, comparing the value of what the Bills gave up for Diggs vs what AZ gave up for Hopkins is #22 vs #40 and David Johnson.   Another way to look at it is, pick #22 is equal to picks #40 and #63.5.   Is David Johnson worth that difference for Texans to drop from #22 to #40?

 

you literally  can't compare the value with the Hopkins trade. The Texans obviously over value David Johnson by a mile or they have been hitting the cold syrup to hard. They are also never shipping Hopkins to a team in the afc unless some team makes it rain with draft picks

[Bills Cap Space (missing Jefferson & Matakevich) 2020 = $32.4M & 2021 = $83.5M]

2021 has them with tons of room. Going off how much the cap has raised recently its should be around 207-210 million leaving them with over 75 million

please please please stop trying to compare these 2 WR trades. It's not possible since the Texans might have been hosed but they were never trading to another AFC team and if by some miracle they didnt care about that they ask for devin s and probably more draft picks then we gave the vikings

That really is the argument about value of the trade.

Mine was that hate giving away a 1st round pick. But the financials are awesome for the Bills.

 Beane did very well again, went all in for Josh Allens future.

without mortgaging the cap

 

It's really nice to finally have cap space the team can work with. They will probably have close to 80 mill next year

It's amazing how much we value picks on this board - I want players, elite ones at that

 

well after all those years of nothing i think people have been very attached to draft picks and potential picks

Rumor on Hopkins was $20M and I think 3 left

 

 

he has 3 years left and his cap hit is 12.5 13.5 and almost 14 his last year. This just shows how terrible of a trade this was for the texans

Bills have  136mil for 2021 in contracts leaving them lots of room. 2021 cap should be 207-210 million looking at the jump from last few years.  Bills still have the 4th most space in the league currently even with the signings and adding diggs

Welcome to the board, and thanks for sharing your thoughts...

 

...now go get your shine box!

  

I'd gladly shine billy batts' shoes if it would help fix the o-line

[Josh Allen’s Adjusted Completion Percentage = 72.7%]

I've been a lurker for a little bit and signed up to give my few thoughts on Allen. I'm far from a expert so take my post with more then a grain of salt. 

 

Allen seems to be making improvements but I think his completion % being low has really been hurt by the WR's not getting much separation on a ton of plays, Foster has been a great assist of late but other then him Allen hasn't had much to work with(looking at you Mr. I cant take a step forward Charles Clay). If we can find another WR and get a O-line that isn't terrible I think we will all be happy :)
