DER10N92 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Diggs traded to Houston for a 2025 2nd round pick. Houston also receives a 5th & 6th. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentwannabe Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Didn't see that coming. The 2nd belongs to Minnesota so it could be a top 40 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DER10N92 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 I wonder if we make a move for Jefferson or Tee Higgins or if we will solely stick to the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DER10N92 Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 I believe this will setup for one of two things to happen, and this may just be obvious: 1.) The Texans (Vikings) 2025 2nd will be packaged to acquire someone like JJ or Higgins. He will be extended and we still draft a WR in the 1st this season giving a solid 1-2 at WR for the next 5 years minimum. 2.) We use our picks and make a major move way up the draft (top 5) to take one of the top WR. I personally am kind of leaning towards the first option.

I think Beane goes younger and cheaper route at WR right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfaninptown Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 30 minutes ago, Trentwannabe said: I think Beane goes younger and cheaper route at WR right now. I agree. This has to be the approach. I am also against trading up to the top 5-10 for a WR. This WR draft class is too deep to give up picks. We might have to take a step back this year, but we should have a lot of picks next year and our cap situation should be much better. Draft two WR in the first 4 rounds this year and add a quality WR next year in free agency. We should be getting some comp picks next year too. The hardest part for me about this trade isn’t the compensation as much as it is we have to eat so much of his cap and lost a pick this year. In 2024 we traded Diggs and a 6th pick for nothing and we have to eat 31 million. That’s brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay him 27 million on a retooling team and he may be a distraction or ship him away for a pick next year and add another 3.2 million to your books to not have him on the roster. Wild. I also think there is a good chance the Bills trade up. Next years first and this years first gets them to around pick 10-12. If they identify one of those top 3 guys as a bona fide day 1 WR1 then I can see them pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
