YoloinOhio Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 HOW THE DIGGS DEAL HAPPENED SO FAST I know we covered it earlier in the week, but the trade of Stefon Diggs from Minnesota to Buffalo continues to fascinate me. So here’s some more on the deal that sent Diggs to the Bills, packaged with a seventh-round pick, for first-, fifth- and sixth-rounders in this year’s draft, and a fourth-round pick in 2021. https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/03/23/tampa-bay-buccaneers-scout-tom-brady-diggs-hopkins-trades 1

I’m guessing we would have to trade up to 16 No. I don't think they should play with any more assets from the 2021 draft and to trade into the first round where it would be necessary to get to (14-17) would be prohibitive. Also, who does he play over? Brown? Beasley? If Beane felt that strongly about Ruggs he wouldn't have traded for Diggs. Bills should draft a guy they can develop slowly, but can contribute on Special Teams too: Claypool, Pittman come to mind. Edited March 23, 2020 by purple haze 1 1
Doc Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Just for reference, trading-up to the 15th pick, which is still probably too late to get Ruggs or even Lamb, would have cost the Bills their entire draft, save their 2nd rounder.

Not just on the Diggs deal but on the reality of the situation with DHop in Houston and on the way the Buccs arrived at the decision to sign Tom Brady. 1

Doc Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Glad the Bills didn't also have to give up the 3rd round pick like Seattle did for Harvin and instead used picks in rounds this year in which they had at least another pick.
simpleman Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Quick, short article on why the pats passed on Diggs, https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/patriots/nfl-rumors-why-patriots-passed-stefon-diggs-trade-bills
Coach Tuesday Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Breer’s article states that Hopkins is insisting on more money being added to his existing deal (NOT an extension), and that he doesn’t practice during the week. Based on all of that (which Gaine certainly would be privy to), I can understand why the Texans’ compensation wasn’t higher and why the Bills didn’t pounce. 2

On Sundays, he was exemplary. The rest of the week, his practice habits (he didn’t practice much at all) became a problem, and because he was such a big star he had the ability to carry teammates in the wrong direction—guys who might not be able to turn it on come game day as easily as he could. 1

According to a report from Albert Breer of SI.com, however, it was actually the other way around. Breer reports that Diggs’ first tweet led to teams calling the Vikings to see about a deal for the wideout.

They also brought up a good point which is the demand for new money drove his compensation down, a la AB last year, with the Steelers getting just a 3rd and 5th rounder for him.

If we would have had a Ted Washington anchoring that D-line we would have won at least the first one. All we needed to do win the first SB was to hand the ball the Thurman. They played a 3-2 defense with extra DB's in a zone to take away deep balls and the crossing routes. We ran all over them but it was just too late … our offensive coaches did not call a good game at all. It was easy to run out of the K-gun and we could have forced the Giants go back to their 3-4 which would of then opened up the passing lanes. We gave up 20 points. Our offense was never on the field and our defense was tired and worn. That was a contributor to all the missed tackles in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Blaming Jeff Wright is revisionist history and incorrect. We played 90% of the game exactly they way they wanted us to. We had the better team but Parcells and Bellichek completely outcoached our staff. That is why we lost. Edited March 23, 2020 by Bob in STL 3 1
