Beane tracks players he really wants for years and usually tries at least once to acquire them before eventually doing so
Emmanuel Sanders (nearly signed before Diggs trade) Von Miller (Rams paid more than we wanted to) Diggs (didn’t he mention he spoke with Minny the year before)
I’m sure there’s other examples
Diggs

Shakir - slot
Harty? (Possible cut)
Shorter? (Who knows)
You’re currently looking at 2 WR’s on the active roster that will for sure dress on gameday
we should at least be adding a player like Curtis Samuel + drafting 2
All things being equal, I’d rather keep Diggs. I’m just skeptical of his actual relationship with the Bills and Allen. I also didn’t care for how he was used the last half dozen games. Why not utilize his strengths more? Joe Brady better get that right
except he showed up in the playoffs with important catches here, in Balt and in SB
I have no idea what his market value will be perceived as. I’ve never cared for the guy though
If Diggs is still on the roster come St.Patrick’s day, he isn’t being traded
regardless of him being here or not, I want 2 WR’s at minimum drafted. Preferably both before Round 3 ends
I’m sticking with Troy Franklin as of now. I think him showing QB friendly play / high IQ when plays break down to find open spaces is something that pairs great with Josh. I think he’s an underrated route runner and the speed is lethal.
His combine testing with the bench press will be really interesting. 40 time too of course
it’s a coin flip for me whether I’d rather have Thomas or Franklin. I think Franklin is more likely to be available at 28…or at least within 5-6 picks of us. Thomas could go top 20 IMO
Corley “YAC KING” eats up yards on short passes with his physicality and competitiveness. Kind of like a Deebo type but more physical
keep Miller, decent chance he’ll make a difference. If Khalil Mack is cut he could replace Leonard Floyd.
If Tre White stays, I’d rather try moving Benford to Safety. Then you have Tre, Rasul and Elam rotating at CB
good post!! Stone would be a nice addition.
Mooney for whatever reason strikes me as a player who would either be dynamite here or a complete waste.
Curtis Samuel is another WR who makes a lot of sense and played under Joe Brady
Gibson is intriguing. Hadn’t even thought of him. Assuming we don’t land King Henry, I’d be good with this
didn’t Beane already “promise” Hines he wouldn’t be cut?
Harty had a HUGE PR that won us the division, but he was barely used as an actual WR. I thought he showed some flashes when he was
I like both of these ideas a lot
