Stefon Diggs is gone. Now what?
The Bills made a massive move, sending away their top WR Stefon Diggs to the Texans, along with a pair of Day 3 picks and brought back a 2025 2nd round pick. Where do they go from here? Joe Buscaglia takes your questions in our Diggs trade live room!

Do the Bills use their draft assets to trade up into the top 10 of this draft? Which WR is the best fit for this team?
SJ
Sara J.
Will fans go crazy if the Bills draft an interior Olineman round 1? Then double up on WR round 2 and 4 Seems more fitting with McDermott style
PH
Paul H.
What does the trade of Diggs say about Josh Allen?
SJ
Sara J.
Is Rocky 4 the best sound track ever?
CM
Chris M.
Brian Thomas Jr or Mitchell?
AM
Alexander M.
Do you foresee the bills still being Super Bowl contenders after considering all of the losses this offseason? IMO it all depends on how they replenish the WR room
AF
Andrew F.
What is your take on Ladd McConkey being a potential fit for the Bills?
SJ
Sara J.
Which position in round 1 (besides QB) is least likely
DB
Daniel B.
Do you believe that Diggs requested the trade?
DW
Derek W.
Are guys like Aiyuk or Higgins even possible? Given $31m to not have Diggs on your team, I don't see how they fit a veteran WR in for '24
DB
Dillon B.
How did the restructure of his contract work? Since when does a trade allow you to just redo a contract without cap implications / dead money? And what's your opinion of how that late news effects the compensation
PH
Paul H.
Do you think that the Bills/NFL have changed philosophies on WRs from separators/space makers back towards larger bodied WRs based on how defenses are playing so much 2 high shell?
MC
Michael C.
If Beane and Co don’t trade up for one of the top 4 guys in this class - what guys do you think they could be targeting in the first 2 rounds?

How long do you think, josh allen will play on a top Level? (If He doesn't get injured) ( and the bills need to do a big transition)
BR
Brad R.
Any FA WRs you like to fill the depth? OBJ, Boyd, etc?
JB
Jordan B.
What do you think about the Bills sticking at 28 and trading up to 50 to get two quality wideouts instead of moving up for just one?
MW
Matthew W.
Are there any WR that you think the Bills could swing a trade for on top of drafting one at 28? Obviously Justin Jefferson isn’t happening but could they look to do something similar to the Diggs/Vikings trade in 2020?
KH
Kyle H.
The bills have 10 draft picks. How many players do they actually end up taking?
jP
josh P.
Keon Coleman— a better beane fit?
jP
josh P.
Why not trade down and move up again in the 2nd round? Why not get 2 WR instead of selling everything for just one—get 2 of—Ladd/Coleman/Polk/Persal/Leggett etc
SD
Sean D.
Will the Bills sign a true fullback, and start running 22 personnel all the time? Bring back bully ball
SJ
Sara J.
Is all in on WR smart for a team and coach that wants balance. Establish the run, defense. Can make case for DT/DE/Oline high in this draft to better dictate flow of the game. Those positions dictate every snap where a WR not as much so
sL
sinai L.
Why can't we just win a super bowl and get it over with
jP
josh P.
Still think they need to fill out this defense with youth DE/DT/S—still feels like defense could go at 28 with lots of WR later
MW
Matthew W.
Can we listen to this recorded later if we can’t stay the whole time?
KH
Kyle H.
Yes u can
BB
Brad B.
This was briefly mentioned on WGR but is there any player you think could be “move up in the draft” bait like Cordy Glenn was to the ultimate Josh Allen pick? Is there a path where someone is valuable enough (but not essential to 2024) to bundle with 28 to move up to the teens so they have a closer shot into the true top of the draft if someone they like drops a bit? Don’t know if Knox would be valuable enough to others but feels like that kind of candidate.
MO
Michael O.
Diggs and Davis weren't a big part of their winning run at the end of the year. Won't they be fine without taking a big swing for a star WR here?
AT
Adam T.
How do you see the 1st 2 rounds unfolding this year?
JW
Jeffrey W.
Does Brandon Beane already have deals in place to move up?
JB
Jordan B.
Thanks for the perspective on the two wide out proposition, that makes sense.
KM
Keith M.
They are snatching one of the top 3 at wr in the draft
MM
Michael M.
What do you think of Xavier Legette as a prospect for the Bills?
KM
Keith M.
Which one do they like is the question…
BF
Ben F.
Do you think the Bills will pay a premium to trade up since every team knows they need a receiver, and if they do pay a premium how much extra will they pay?
KM
Keith M.
Do they give up capital and move up for a specific guy or hang tight and move to grab the one that falls a little…?
BG
Brandon G.
Do you like the idea of trading for aiuik?
SJ
Sara J.
With the change to the kickoff rule, do you see impact on draft / depth strategy More quality LB/TE depth for example…
KM
Keith M.
No, you’d have to give up more for aiyuk then what they got for diggs.
MM
Michael M.
What do you think of Xavier Leggett as a prospect for a Bills
SJ
Sara J.
With bills using 6 olineman as often as they did. Do you see drafting an extra stud Olineman or a Lee Smith tight end on the table?
RP
Ron P.
Could you see the Bills moving up to four if Marvin Harrison Jr is available? I think he’s the best player in the draft
KM
Keith M.
Leggett is a big physical dude, lack of consistency over his career hurts him. He’s also not a super polished route runner. But I like em, and I have a funny feeling him and Josh would get along really well
KM
Keith M.
Ron P. I personally hope they do. I think Marvin Harrison gone be real good.
KD
Kyle D.
Is Harrison for sure the first WR off the board or could he slide down a few spots for the Bills to trade up and grab?
tG
thomas G.
Do you think the Bills could trade an asset like Dawson Knox or Elam to move up in the first round? This way, we would not have to give up so many picks to move up into the top ten.
KM
Keith M.
Good call Joe, the Bills are not afraid of moving up to get their guy
eC
eric C.
Are you as concerned with the bills moving a first round pick with the team they have and the cap space they have coming in future years?
RA
Raajan A.
What teams could you see being interested in trading down from a top 10-12 pick to the Bills’ 28th pick at this stage?
RA
Randy A.
Is trading up from 28 into the first half of the first round an effective use of draft capital? It would put a TON of pressure on a prospect to be THAT guy when there’s no guarantee. Would you see it as a more viable option to draft a receiver at 28 (or early 2nd if they trade back) to slot in as a #2 then make a trade after the draft for a #1 when they get some more cap room from Tre White’s cap savings post June 1st? Thinking of someone like Aiyuk, McLauren, or someone in that category of player. Would allow them to scale contracts with a high performing proven vet paid at market rate for 4-5 years while offsetting that with a high end #2 receiver rookie prospect who will need to get paid as the vet’s contract is coming close to its end…
KD
Kyle D.
What FA WR left still interest you? Odell doesn’t seem to have much left, maybe Boyd but it’s slim pickings
AT
Adam T.
Let's switch gears. Tell me more about who we're drafting to replace Von
AV
Andrew V.
True or false - there was a VERY significant off the field incident the night before the Bengals playoff game that may or may not have involved the qb of the Bills, that is the root of the issues Diggs has with the Bills organization
KM
Keith M.
He did shoot a man in broad daylight in Philly
KM
Keith M.
Senior that is…. Not junior
KM
Keith M.
Nabers is the most explosive player at the position
RV
Rob V.
Rob V Personally, I'm glad Diggs is gone. I don't think anyone was fooled when the Bills tried to cover up the Diggs' attitude and behaviour from the loss to Cincy and onward. This is probably a no brainer for everyone, but his behaviour on the Vikings was a precursor to his tenure in Buffalo. He whined about his contract, so they gave him what he wanted. Then the ******** and whining started after that said game. I'm completely stunned that another team, the Texans being a team who actually wanted this ******** and whining and a cancer in the locker room. They do watch Football, don't they? I'm amazed at how dumb some GM's are. Now you're talking about Beane and his past mistakes. Perhaps he should have done a complete assessment before signing him .

Gregory G.
Imagine if Bills keep Mahomes instead of Tra White. Gone. If the Bills have J.Jefferson on rookie contract instead of Diggs. Gone. Imagine what we would have gotten for the 3 picks we used on Allen. I know we used an extra 1 on Edmunds but he is gone as well. Wee don’t keep our own picks as Beane says we do. Imagine if we don’t spend $120 million on V.Miller. Beane and McDermott are not the geniuses the Bills Mafia beloved.
KM
Keith M.
Is the seat hot for Beane and Sean …. ? They really should be if we can piece this thing together.
KM
Keith M.
Got one of the best qbs in the game and can’t make it to the big game….
KM
Keith M.
That window is closing…. But I can respect the optimistic outlook
KM
Keith M.
Jim Kelly n Marv were pretty good.
