I'd probably think that..this is pretty fair compensation for a young, proven WR under a reasonable contract for 4 years... O’Brien is literally the laughing stock of the league today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC in St. Louis Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I skipped ahead from page 6 to 20. Here's the thing: We got a 6th for Bodine, who was cut one week later. We got a 5th and a 6th for Wyatt Teller, who wasn't going to start for us, might not have even made the team. We had 2 5th's and 3 6ths, thanks to Beane busting a couple moves last summer. They were going to be used to trade up. Let's say Diggs is worth the 12th pick in the draft. Was that too much to take that player? Go back thru the draft history of WR's taken in the 1st-2nd round. Lots of swings and misses. Ask Detroit fans. Diggs can be dominant. With John Brown burning downfield, Beasley darting around 10 yards downfield, Knox making tough catches and plowing through linebackers....they can't cover all those guys. And we have an intact OL coming back, Josh at QB, Singletary in the backfield. This is shaping up quite nicely. And Beane ain't done. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knew that 18 wide receivers are immediately guaranteed to have back-to-back 1,000 yard seasons and a better contested catch rate, than the 2nd best in the league? Diggs will put up better stats this year than every single wide receiver in this draft (except, maybe CeeDee Lamb but we weren't getting him anyway). 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevewin Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Beane has shown a willingness to use draft capital to get "his guy" - regardless of whether the "value" on paper is perceived as overpay. He acquires additional picks for the purpose of having capital to make deals to get players he targets, not to draft 11 players each year.

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.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Here's the question. Will the Bills offense allow Allen to attempt 100 more passes next year?

This screams ownership wanting a “big” name. You build through the draft. Lol! The Bills have been smart with draft picks and cap space the past couple years precisely so they could afford a move like this. They were patient and got through the growing pains of the rebuild and now it's time to make a championship run. We have 2 years before we have to think about extending Allen. Beane made the one move that HAD to be made to get this offense to a championship level. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
