Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 As my son reminds me, Diggs didn't like playing with Cousins so will he like playing with a (thus far) lesser accomplished quarterback in Allen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably other teams involved too. We’ll never know the details of it but I’m sure there was some good competition for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technobot Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Love the trade. No guarantees in life but I'm very optimistic about the results. There's always an inherent risk with these things but we're getting a proven talent who can make Josh better NOW. It would have been nice to draft "our" guy and groom him from the start but just like nothing says this will work out (or won't spontaneously combust in the Bills' faces), there's no certainty the player drafted in the first round would be as good as Diggs. The 5th and the 6th rounders were fodder given the roster depth this year. I'm all for another crack at the draft lottery but there's no guarantees and certainly no knowing that they could have packaged for a trade up. If the draft is as deep as "they" say, then we can get our WR to groom on day 2. We've got the cap room and assuming the guy isn't a nutbar then we've just added a core piece, the thing we were all clamouring for: that proven #1 receiver. And we didn't wildly overpay like we would have had to for Cooper (assuming he would have even answered the phone). The future is now, shots fired. Beane said (paraphrasing) "we want Josh to succeed and we want him to get paid that next big contract". Well, Josh. Get er done, I'm certain you can get it done. And here I thought patting the Bills FO on the back for a smart/value/roleplayer signing in AJ Klein would be the highlight of FA Day One.

But.., When you compare that to the Hopkins deal it makes me the Bills & Texans look really bad, and Cards & Vikes look really good. Bills & Texans would’ve both been better off trading w each other. STOP COMPARING THIS TO THE TEXANS. The Bills do not look bad. It makes the Texans look worse. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he posts big numbers. Then that’s a good thing. Would you rather him suck so we can keep him cheaper?

Least respected guy on the entire Vikings team per the other players. this is the only thing that concerns me. but he must be process-approved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbarrettb Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Deepest wr draft and you trade a ton of picks for a number 2. Sound move. This screams ownership wanting a “big” name. You build through the draft. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a slam dunk. we have no one like this on the roster, which is what I want on a WR. It is entirely up to Josh and I'm scared schitless 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
