Diggs traded to Texans for picks

Seriously?   Clearly this was the best he was able to negotiate.  Considering Diggs nonsense on social media and desire to shred his contract so he can hit the market after next year....getting a 2nd is a good trade 


Not to mention we gained a lot of future cap space. 

 

beane got great value for a 1 yr rental

 

this other discussion revolves around some who think that because it's a 2025 2nd round pick....that its only worth half as much as if it was a 2024 2nd round pick....which i do not believe

"Half as much" is not accurate, but it is true that in the context of trading draft picks, they lose one round of value for each year into the future that they are. So a 2025 2nd is equivalent in value to a 2024 3rd, and a 2026 2nd is equivalent in value to a 2024 4th.

Now, this formula only speaks to the value of picks in relation to their use in trades. If you look at any draft trade chart, be it Jimmy Johnson's or Rich Hill's, you'll see that this is true.

That said, even if we consider the pick to be of 3rd round value, it STILL seems like a good return for a 30 year old WR on what has become a one-year deal. One need look no further than the compensation given up for Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Diontae Johnson, etc -- not to mention the comparative compensation given up for guys at other positions like Sneed and Burns -- to see that Beane did quite well.

All of that said, there's a pretty good chance the pick winds up being a high one next year. Assuming the Vikings have a losing record -- not a crazy assumption if they start a rookie or Sam Darnold -- we could be looking at something like the 38th to 45th pick in the draft!

Haha. Point taken, but...Don't shoot the messenger. 

I'm not the one who came up with this stuff.

I know you're joking but the value changes completely looking beyond 1+ years.

 

Just passing along info that is widely available and actually was used in the Vikings /Texans trade recently

Half as much is pretty darn close...it's actually worth a bit less than half, based on trade value charts

The only trade a team would possibly due is the 1st scenario you listed.

 

Again, going beyond 1 year isn't super common (unless a team massively covets a player).

If you're being serious, no LOL.

 

Personally, if I'm giving up a future 1st, it's because I'm moving up for a QB, or a generational talent at WR/LT/CB.

 

I think you're taking my original point WAY out of context.

 

At no point was I discussing trading a future 1st.  I'm trying to convey that I think Beane is highly likely to move next years 2nd (either Min or ours), to move up in the 1st or 2nd round

Similar value when Beane traded Sammy Watkins as a 1 year rental by the Rams.  He used that pick as part of the trade up for Josh Allen.

Diggs really wants the world to know he’s putting in work for Houston. Last year we got runways and fashion.


He loves the attention.   He's a 2 face.  Just wait until he becomes the 3rd option for CJ in their offense

They’re going to be good. He’s going to be good. They could literally have 3 1,000 WRs next year. There’s enough to go around. They’re going to throw a lot.

 

I’ve heard Beane, McDermott, and Allen talk about Diggs being a fashion model. Now they trade him and it’s all football on his social media.

 

Diggs is a troll IMO. And he loves being a troll. I think he also orchestrated this whole thing. He’s a dick at the end of the day. Can’t trust him.

He acted the same way when he first got here.  Diggs met up with Allen and they started connecting
