BruceVilanch Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It's amazing to me how much people value picks past rd3, it is one thing if we were in full rebuild mode and we had space for young guys to make the team, i know this is rare territory for a lot of posters on here but we are in a win now superbowl or bust window and Diggs helps us now. Good teams don't have a lot of guys make the team past the first couple of rounds, I am more than happy giving up our #1 for a player like him, we can pick up the "big WR" in the draft. Great way to end the day, Go bills! PS: WASH YOUR HANDS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly felt they needed a #1 WR , we had the luxury to trade the 1st we would have risked taking a WR with to grab a proven guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I’d rather have up’d the ante on Hopkins and thrown a first, but Diggs is a very good player. We will know what we have in Allen by year end. Diggs, Brown, Beasley is a very good group of receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the “one that got away” when he chose to stay home and go to Maryland. He and Christian Kirk were Urban’s biggest recruiting heartbreaks. Diggs was the one that hurt at the time. He was SO good coming out of high school. I do remember hitting refresh on that and being like “ugh, Maryland.” Today was pretty amazing though. Beane is a patient assassin. He’s just quietly sitting there and then within hour he’s added a starting OLB, a starting edge averaging 10 sacks a year and a number 1 receiver. What a wild ride.

Augie Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 GREAT!!! So now I go months without any sports, and now Day One of the draft is meaningless! What sin did I commit? Or, more accurately I suppose, which one am I currently being punished for??? Happy days. Trust in our guys runs pretty deep. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take a proven WR for that price with my 3rd year QB. Think NO other AFC team would pay more than AZ did for Hopkins ? Not likely.

I'm still happy. Love Diggs. Theres a possibility the declined a first from a team that took them to OT in the playoffs for a second in the NFC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fiend Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 On the Minnesota message board, they are making fun of Buffalo: http://www.vikingsmessageboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=37813 Quote That's a haul. So long Diggs. Will always remember the Saints game. Saves us a boatload of cap space. Buffalo is where receivers go to die. Quote Glad Vikings got a 1st for a guy that was more or less forcing a trade.Also glad he's going to Buffalo. We'll see how well that works out for him. That's one of the last places I'd want to go Quote Vikings fleeced the Bills, Biils gave up alot but they did upgrade at wide receiver but most of Bills fans said they got fleeced Quote Diggs had the best years of his CAREER with cousins. Good luck replicating that in buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like that when we traded Marshawn Lynch to the Seahawks that had a terrible offense and wouldn't do anything with Lynch. They feel like Josh Allen stinks and Diggs won't do anything.
