If Allen fails this year, this is another total disaster similar to Sammy Watkins I like your options: either it's a trade that works, or it's a total disaster. That's some funny schitt right there. Never change, Bills brother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty75 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Okay here’s my thought about this deal, at first I thought « oh ***** we just acquired Stefon Diggs, we finally have a true number 1 WR ! » then when i saw that we gave up a 1st round pick, I was a bit disappointed.... But after strong thoughts, i realized that Diggs totally worth a 1st round pick, it’s clearly a awesome move and the goal was to take a WR with the 1st round pick anyway, now we just got one...and damn how talent he is...(2 back to back +1000 yards seasons) he’s got the speed and can run a lot of routes. We made a big move and showed it to all the nfl that we want to pretend, J.A will have a lot of targets next year ! ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla03 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 So glad we didn't go the 1st round WR route we don't really have time to wait on a rookie WR to develop. And none of the top 2 talents would have lasted until our pick. We even have an extra 5th this year so the late picks don't even mean much. now we just need to focus on our oline and add a couple more playmakers on offense. defense i'm not worried about at all, as long as they are a top 10 unit next season we are fine. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 43 minutes ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: I kind of had that reaction. If we were gonna trade a first round pick, OMG I like Diggs but Hopkins >>> Diggs. Maybe McBeane evaluate Diggs above Hopkins? Maybe Texans wouldn’t trade with Bills? Maybe Hopkins isn’t in the process? This is a positive trade. But, Hopkins for less, on the surface, would seem like a better trade. Regardless, (surprised we had to give up late round picks) this is what McBeane thinks is better than he can get in the 1st (and a proven commodity). I think we sign a Impactful DE in FA next. Clowney? No Clowney and I still like this deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins is better the Diggs. Like the player, but severely overpaid... Beane was dealing from strength. Bills had two 5th's and three 6th's. They still have at least one pick in each round outside the 1st. Overpaid? Nah. Edited March 17, 2020 by purple haze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would of been flipping out tomorrow if we didn’t make moves. Now we paid too much. People can of course have fun debating the compensation but there’s a few who cry about every move the bills make. Ok, on that we can agree ....

He wanted out and they agreed. Works out great for buffalo, Diggs and the Vikings who need the draft picks on cheap contracts they have cap issues I'm curious to see how Thielen does without Diggs opposite him.

SoTier Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 22 minutes ago, kbarrettb said: 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. The Bills gave up the opportunity to pick a WR who might or might not be a starter in 2020 plus a bunch of "Mr Irrelevants" who were unlikely to make the team -- even with an expanded practice squad. Diggs has a "big" name because he's proven that he's a top NFL WR and a playmaker, something the Bills really, really needed and didn't have much chance of acquiring in the draft. Better to give up a first and some Day Three picks than giving up more to move up in the first round. 22 minutes ago, Reed83HOF said: 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 I'm not scared at all. I'd rather find out that Allen's not who the Bills drafted him to be in 2020 than to be still asking "Is Allen the man?" come 2022, which is where we very well might be if the Bills don't give him better skills players. They've added the veteran playmaking WR. Now they need to add another WR and RB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I don't know. I dont think he fits Josh's skill set. Diggs is just a better version of John Brown. I would of liked a bigger guy that can go over middle. Diggs is a good deep threat but Josh isn't the best deep ball thrower. Hopefully I'm wrong.

John from Riverside Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 OK.....so because I have been on the Diggs train for a while now.......I am now really hoping this work out LOL People complaining about the 1st round pick (I really dont care about the other picks....a 4th next year and be recouped.....the late round picks ppl need to understand that nearly ALL of our team is under contract RIGHT NOW......there are draft picks that might not make this team. With Diggs you are getting a young playmaker who isnt gonna come out the gate slow because he is a rookie.......you are getting a seasoned number one RIGHT NOW......Smoke and Diggs will work off each other.....just speed everywhere. He is on a cost controlled contract......he isnt an old guy where you are trying to replace him in the draft...... IF we were to trade up for a young wide receiver in the draft.....this is the kind of compensation that you would be giving up for that......Ruggs is not exactly a mountain either and probably the best player we would have been in a position to get. Now....give me Robert Quinn or Grifftih please. You can cry about the picks.....the fact is the bills just got a LOT better. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla03 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 10 minutes ago, Nelius said: Because he was unhappy and the relationship frayed and got to the point where it couldn't really be saved. You're right, time will tell, but he's truly just a football player with no off-the-field nonsense who doesn't otherwise display diva tendencies. If he's trashing Josh on Twitter a year from now, then it's a pattern that might fit the head case designation, but at this point I just think he's a guy who needs a fresh start. call me crazy but I feel like allen and diggs will get along. I think Diggs just didn't like Cousins, personally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronthebaron Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I bet Beane is working on some additional FA signings and felt comfortable giving away the picks. Don’t sweat the picks until you see who else we sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Not sure how Diggs was able to put these numbers when all Cousins wants to do is dump the ball off for three yards on EVERY play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s much much more than a good deep threat. He can win jump balls in the red zone, he can execute screen passes, slants whatever. Go watch his old games in Minnesota.
