Randy Moss Troy Williamson. We can just replace him with that shiny new draft pick. How did that work out.
Are you honestly putting Diggs in the same conversation as Moss?

Cousins put up 4k with garbage around him...trade Diggs for the #19, sign me up, please and thank you...you're in the garden spot for McGlinchy, add the best guard available at #30, run your passing game through Theilen, Rudy, Wright, and Cook...plenty of WRs With our second...Maybe Treadwell decides to listen to the coaches...sit back and watch Diggs contract a terminal groin pull at $14 million a year...priceless...
Thielen, Rudy and Wright...Man, that just doesn't sound like a group that is going to cause a DC a bad nights sleep. And I love me some Thielen too.
Needs more cayenne seasoning to take it over the top - give that DC some heartburn.
Growth in cap is tailwind for the Vikes...I think they can improve OL this draft AND keep the big 3 (Diggs, Kendricks, Barr). It's the resigning Thielen with those 3 that does give me pause. Wish I had more faith in the Vikings to draft a decent WR via scouting talent vs luck ala Diggs/Adam.

I am all about the cayenne but it depends on what is done with the combo. Also I think DeFilippo's input and influence will be huge and take the offense to the next level. I love Diggs and I hope they keep him but we'll have to wait and see what happens. I am looking forward to seeing Cousins in action as well.

No not talent wise. More like a known and and unknown.We got a # 7 pick for Moss we were sure we could get something great with that. Well we got Troy. We could get a 19 for Diggs. Thats about where we got Treadwell. A first pick would be great to get, but wish we had his proven replacement in hand before.
Might make sense i we were rebuilding but you wont replace Diggs talent this year
Foolish move. Could be seen as a bait and switch by the Cousins camp.

we are not talking about trading Diggs an using that pick for another receiver ala Moss/Williams. We are talking about taking a rental player (which is possibly what Diggs is at 1 year left on his contract and potentially parlaying that into a 4 year starter at RT or another area of immediate impact. Williamson was a mistake on so many fronts its not even funny or worth talking about anymore. Treadwell was the last of what... 4 or 5 receivers taken in that round? At 19 we would have had 2nd choice not 4th.
Getting rid of Diggs would be a tough choice, but the way the team is unfolding, are we really going to have a QB making close to 30, and 2 WR making aver 25 combined? about 1/3 of our cap in 3 offensive players? I think when they signed Cousins they said we are going to be a QB centric team, and part of that is a solid OL, with those 2 things that QB should be able to make 8 million dollar guys look like 15 million dollar guys.
I dont want a 1 and done approach, if they are looking for a trophy, they need to keep looking big picture and doing what is best for not only this years chances, but the next couple years teams as well. The only way I dont think I would do this deal are if Diggs camp appears willing to do a long term deal in that 10 to 11.5 range, or if the team and AT's camp are good with his deal playing out as written for the next 3 years. ( which Geoff says isnt likely to happen) Diggs is a good talent, but his inability to stay healthy and him not really being a dominant WR IMO make him expendable in an extreme situation. turning a 1 year guy into a 1st round pick that only cost you a 4th rounder 3 years ago.... thats a pretty extreme opportunity IMO.
Id do the trade. Dallas wouldnt. Diggs plays 1/2 a season due to injury anyway so its not like he’s on tge field anyway.
Youd have to track down a mid teir veteran WR though.
If McGlinchy is still there at #19, it would be an interesting thought...
no way the vikings or any team with a impact and ascending player like Diggs proactively trades them for the 19th pick.
its frankly ludicrious to even consider. diggs a top 20 wr by almost all acounts. could easily move into top 10 with Cousins.
ok, this is just false. dude missed 2 games last year. but dont let facts get in the way
