    Gotta remember that less than 50% of these guys work out. Just sit back and relax knowing we got our 2 studs last year while these teams try to find theirs.

    Not for this year no, But, DT Newton (or whomever they wanted) and a WR in 2nd might be the better long term play.

    Im ok with Diggs for sure. Just shooting the **** as trading back into the first now may have cost you more draft capital than you got trading back in the first place.

    Did you learn nothing from Daryl Morey? It's all about accumulating assets.

    Real answer: things evolve over time. It was a good trade then and we'll see if they make a good trade now. Or just make good picks with what they got in return.

    Thomas did most of his damage vs weaker CB’s. The good ones covered him pretty well.

    I'll be interested to see how he does against Chase and Jefferson, the guys he faced in practice who are better prospects and current players

    Nope.

    Traded Brian Thomas & 2024 pick 232

    for Diggs, pick 42 (Minny), pick 188 (Minny), a 2024 sixth-round draft pick (Buffalo) and a 2025 fifth-round pick (Buffalo).

    Indeed. I did go back and edit in a "or just make good picks with what they got" caveat to my initial post

    Can't remember which one, but there's practice tape of Stingley just destroying one of those guys, for whatever that's worth (which is not much)
