And the reality is that diggs is a number one.

 

The belief that a number one receiver must Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, someone of that level... There's a reason there's a distinct tier 1 of wide receivers and it's only five or six. 

 

Only five or six teams have those guys and it's not clear on who they may be at any given point. The best example is Garrett Wilson in New Jersey. The guy is top five talent and playing at a subpar level. 

 

Stefon Diggs is a 1B wide receiver.

I can get behind this! I’m just thinking why give up any draft capital for a WR unless it’s a premier WR? Maye is actually making Diggs,Boutte, and Douglas look like a respectable trio! So unless it’s getting someone like AJ Brown I rather they went after a RB since the run game is horrid

Because behind Diggs who do they have that is going to be better than a 2nd round pick? The draft gamble on WRs is getting more and more risky. 

 

Mack Hollins is ok in that system as a #3 in a rebuilding phase. Boutte is a #3 dressing up as a #2. Maybe he is a #2B on a good day.

 

If the Patriots got a mid tier, a #2 or another #2b/#3 it would be a vast improvement. 

 

Hollins should be a #4-5.

 

I know you don't read here much but background... I always believe you should have a #1WR, #2WR, #3, and a #4 who can play inside or out with the #5 being the gadget guy/slot/wildcard.  For the Bills think when they had Diggs/Davis/Beasley/John Brown or Emanuel Sander/McKenzie.

If i am the Pats i trade for a #2 if I can. this puts insurance against injury and ensures good targets for Maye through the rest of the season and the potential regression of his development should there be injury or drop in performance from Diggs (which is expected).

 

in the draft you'd be able to 100% focus on the OL. i don't load up to stop the Bills offense by drafting defense and you certainly don't have to worry about the Jets offense or Miami's offense.  Load up on the LOS with the OL. plan to control the LOS against the Bills and look to outscore them and control the ball.
