Doc Brown Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 1 hour ago, turftoe said: Why was Minnesota so eager to trade him? Time will tell. Desperate to free up salary cap space, a strong WR draft class, and a rocky relationship between him and Cousins is my guess. It made sense for both teams and the compensation was fair. I'm sure Beane did his homework as far as Digg's attitude goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 1 hour ago, SDS said: I guess it is up to Josh to throw it somewhere in his catch radius. Not a slam dunk. Thats a concern for me too. No excuses for a massive leap in the passing game this year. But that’s a wait and see/cross that bridge when I get to it sort of problem. We should be excited and expect a huge leap in production when we line up with Diggs, Brown, and Beasley. If mot it seems like we are still in a great spot cap and/or draft wise to make some moves in FA or the draft in regards to resigning Josh, trading up, or picking up a guy if there is one available.

wvbillsfan Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I keep going back to that Baltimore game when they played a cover 1 or cover 0. Josh threw a post to Brown that was well covered and Brown didn’t run the best route. Try that again this year but with Diggs on our team. Bet you don’t. How much is that worth 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par73 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hate giving up a 1st (Bills desperately need a couple edge rushers). Also, Diggs had issues with cousins.

We still have a 2,3,4,5,and two 6s left this year, so basically almost a full draft with a proven guy replacing our #1 pick. Let everyone in the first round take QBs and WRs now so we can have some solid BPA DE,CB,DT,OT, OLB or RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! I think it's because Beane has been great at hitting on mid to late rounders. They have actually been kinda valuable.

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. Diggs does go between the numbers too. He does everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyC81 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 2 hours ago, MiltonWaddams said: Wow!!!!! I like this if Josh gets his deep ball right. The current top three are not big, but get Brown or Diggs over the top and they can burn. I don’t get it. Diggs is very similar to Brown. In one of the best drafts for WRs, they trade their 1st round pick for a copy of what they had? I suppose signing Devin Funchess to a huge contract is next, to get the big WR.

ExWNYer Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 2 hours ago, Bangarang said: I hate how much we gave up. Literally hate it. They had 9 picks prior to the trade. They now have a proven 26 year old commodity on a good contract in Diggs (minus their #1 which was possibly going for the 4th or 5th best WR prospect in this class at 22) and still have 7 picks to either use, move up and down the board, or spin off for future picks. The #4 next year may be recouped in the form of a comp pick(s) or via a trade(s) of players slated for cuts like last year. Diggs + 7 picks in 2020 > 9 picks in 2020 This take is an overreaction on your part, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
