Putting a bow on Diggs trade...
#1
Final Tally:
To Buffalo:• Diggs, who led the league in receptions and yards receiving as a first-team All-Pro receiver last season.
• 2020 seventh-rounder Dane Jackson, a cornerback who had one interception in five games (one start).
To the Vikings:
• Justin Jefferson, the first-round pick who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie.
• Defensive end Kenny Willekes, a 2020 seventh-rounder who spent last year on injured reserve. The Vikings got this pick when they traded Buffalo's sixth-rounder to Baltimore.
• Bynum, who played corner at Cal but projects to safety in the NFL.
• Robinson, an inconsistent edge rusher who has all the tools that assistant coach and D-line Whisperer Andre Patterson looks for in an underachiever.
• Davidson

If any ONE of those players hits, it's advantage Vikings. But right now, it's just Diggs vs. Jefferson. In terms of talent, Diggs might still be the better player, but if you factor in age and contract, it's Vikings.

I agree MB...

As of now it would be hard to give one team a significant advantage over the other. That aint necessarily a bad thing either, and maybe the ideal trade example in the NFL. 

Still hurts me as a fan to lose Diggs though...Not as deeply as Moss in his prime, but I got me a little scar from it.

Diggs and the organization hit some bumps and they moved him. Two sides to every story, but he's a great NFL WRer. But then the Vikings hit a home run with the bases loaded and down by 3 in the 9th with JJ.

Diggs and JJ.....pretty balanced Id say, but the tipping point is hopefully JJ has a little more tact regarding the franchise that drafted, coached, played then PAID him.

Diggs wants to go somewhere else?  Well...BYE

anyone who doesnt want to be on the team, theres the door.

Listen, Diggs is a fantastic WRer. There's no argument about it. It was a shame he had to be traded. But the Vikings got JJ so its really a win-win for both teams. Stefan seems to keep wanting to pimp VikingNation from time to time and some fans get caught up in the drama. Lets just move on.

So, in a year or two, and J Rob is looking like Danielle Hunter 2.0, I think the scales tip further in our favor.

Write it down. 5-7 sacks this year in 350 snaps. Couple blocked kicks too.

Keep in mind JJ has to not have a sophomore slump to be talking about equal.  I think it might be a bit much to get 1400 yards again but +1000 would be great.

Yeah I definitely miss Diggs. He was awesome and even though things ended badly, I still root for him in Buffalo.

Jefferson is awesome too though and probably my favorite player on the team now, along with Dalvin. Glad the deal has worked out for us.

Diggs is still being a whiney bitch on Twitter. Fuck him. Fuck him twice.
