‘At 22 they would be picking between Higgins and Shenault. Diggs is proven.

 

Why do people keep saying that? Higgins is a back end first early 2nd maybe.

 

And Shenault is pure trash like I've ben saying for a year now

As my son reminds me, Diggs didn't like playing with Cousins so will he like playing with a (thus far) lesser accomplished quarterback in Allen?

Allen is gonna feed him the ball like crazy. So, yeah he's going to love him.

I wouldn't worry about how this looks next to the worst trade in decades, which happened to happen today. Not everyone is a bumbling idiot like BOB unfortunately. 

 This is really the point. Just because bill o'brian was dumb, doesn't mean that The Vikings were going to be as nonsensical. You don't trade the best wide receiver in football when you have a young quarterback like Watson, o'brian is the general manager now and I would say so far a dismal failure.

I can’t believe some of you guys on here. Some of y’all would be crying we didn’t acquire any real talent, now complain we gave too much. Just dying to find negative ***** to complain about. Go cheer for the Jets. 

I love the move but cmon man ... it’s ok to not like the move. Stop with the “root for the jets” crap because there’s always fans who don’t want to trade a first and that’s a legit opinion

Diggs is a crazy head case. Good luck trying to control him McDermott. Least respected guy on the entire Vikings team per the other players. 

 

We are now at the point where we need to take risks.

So the Bills still would be looking for a number 1 if they didn’t trade the first for Diggs is what you’re saying?

Teams that gave the offense trouble manned up outside.  Baltimore, NE come to mind.  Diggs in those situations is a difference maker.

What an awful overpay. Diggs isn’t a number 1 he’s basically Cooks he’s a good number 2. What an absolute joke of an overpay. No way would I trade a number 1 for him. Geez!!!

You're wrong

Hopkins went for a 4th and under contract until 2023, Diggs you get a 1st and under contract until 2024. Hopkins is better the Diggs. Like the player, but severely overpaid...

Arizona gave up a 2020 2nd (#40 overall) and 2021 4th + a RB (who the Texans reportedly valued and think can bounce back in their system). 

 

So the pick was 18 spots later than the pick the Bills gave up. 

 

Plus we have no idea if the texans were willing to trade Hopkins within the AFC. They sent him to the NFC. For all we know the Bills made an offer. Maybe they wanted Singletary + a pick? Or maybe the Bills preferred Diggs.

 

We will have to wait and see if more info comes out in the future, but we can’t just assume the Bills could’ve had every player that gets traded.

It’s the same people who only look to complain on EVERY thread. They would of been flipping out tomorrow if we didn’t make moves. Now we paid too much. People can of course have fun debating the compensation but there’s a few who cry about every move the bills make.

...and there it is (if true)!

Of course it’s true, you aren’t spending that kind of capital and having him come in disgruntled.

Lol b c it's the Bills is the only reason you have...

 

We can use Brandin Cooks as a comparable (both times he was traded)

 

Cooks was actually a better contract:production ratio when he was traded (both times) and he fetched less (both times).

I'm not thrilled with the price. Even if the Hopkins trade didn't happen (where a better WR went for significantly less) we overpaid here. 

 

 

 

If you don't like the compensation then you just do not understand how difficult it is to find wide receivers like him.
