There has to be a Huge back story we don't know about. The compensation seems like Beane wanted to be rid of him & his cap hit. Either Diggs really wanted out & it was worse than we know (like his production went down bc he quit) OR Beane thinks he's cooked & not worth the $. I'm sure there could be other options too. It seems like a sudden rash trade.
We gave up a 5th this year & a 6th next year in addition to Diggs to get a 2nd next year?
Houston robbed Beane. Has to be Diggs really wanted out or Beane was drunk.
A top QB so I could trade him to the Vikings for Justin Jefferson. I'm only serious.
(Legal disclaimer: Yes I know they draft ahead of us. But since we aren't the GM it's all theoretical anyway. I'm all in on the WR-1 in Round 1 train)
Sounds like Beane's going with a position of need that has less depth than receiver UNLESS he has the receiver graded higher. That doesn't sound good for pick 28. It sounds rational. But does have me wondering what round he'll take a WR? Unless it's smoke.
