That's a no brainer. That means you're not re-signing Edmunds and Poyer, but this might be your last best chance to make a run with a 30 year old Diggs. Bills were going to use at least one draft pick on WR anyways. Might as well keep your first, use your second, trade Oliver to replace the conditional pick you have to give.

They got him by trading Houston a 2020 2nd 2021 4th and a broken RB on an awful contract. Edited March 7, 2023 by TheWeatherMan 1 2
HappyDays Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 If he isn't chasing a massive contract, get it done. Beane's 2nd round picks have not been good anyways. Use this one on a player you already know is great. 3 1
K D Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Great hands, as Bills fans know all too well. Nobody they can get in the 2nd would be as good. Do eeeet

Use this one on a player you already know is great. No brainer for the Bills. Diggs is 30. You're running out of years in his prime, let alone Diggs' patience with the organization. If you're not going to pay Tremaine or Poyer, this is a no brainer to try and swing. A 2nd Round Pick? The Bills 2nds have been largely awful my entire life. 1

BuffaloBaumer Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Can we please go the youth route for receiver? Take that 2nd and draft a receiver. 2

Team is ready to win now. Pieces (Edmunds, Poyer) are already being nibbled off the roster. Diggs aging. Our 2nd Round picks have historically been absolutely awful (yes Thurman 9,000 years ago).

The late 2nd has been a wasteland for receivers lately. There's always a run on them between picks 33 and 50. It's a valuable position so you aren't going to get a steal that easily. So would you take Hopkins for 2-3 years with a fairly large cap hit, or a cost controlled random player with likely a 3rd round grade for 4 years? I'll take the known product in that scenario.
T master Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 I've always been a huge fan of Hopkins if the ball is near him the dude is just money & he's not all about his ego taking over after he makes a big catch he lets his play do the talking that is one thing i've always loved about the guy he seems very humble but knows he can perform when needed . He would be a great get for sure but the cap will say a lot about what Beane can actually do unless he could get him to sign a extension then something like that might work . 1

The super tricky part is who and when. With young guys you’re not sure if they can play. Vets have a different question: what do they have left in the tank.

Success Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 I'm pretty against investing more cap dollars on skill players. The Pats (I know, I know) set the blueprint. They only went for one bigtime receiver while Brady was there, and notably, that did not yield a Lombardi. Build the line. If Allen has time - he can get the ball to anyone. 3 1

They have to be able to catch it though right? Getting open is another plus. Gabes catch % last year was atrocious. Do the Chiefs win the superbowl without Kelce, the best TE in the league? They may not have a stud wr right now but they have a few solid #2s imo. We need 1 more weapon imo. Don't care what/where. Improve the line and get 1 more guy. 1

I also think Davis had a bad year, probably due to the injury, and still believe he can be a good receiver for us. If we invest in a WR, I'd prefer to see it in the draft. I see a few mocks w/ us going WR in the 1st, which wouldn't bother me (as long as 2 of the next 3 are O-line). 1
