During his introductory press conference with the Bears, Keenan Allen let slip that the Houston Texans were one of the teams close to acquiring his services when the Chargers shopped him. That signaled that the Texans were interested in adding a wide receiver, but not just any warm body to fill out the depth chart; they were looking for a high-level, proven veteran needle-mover at the position.
They found a match with now-former Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs and were able to seal the deal with a 2025 second-round pick.
Texans trade 2025 second-round pick for Stefon Diggs, 2024 sixth-round pick and 2025 fifth-round pick
Stefon Diggs and the Bills enjoyed a remarkable journey together. His arrival coincided with a pivotal period that saw Josh Allen evolve into one of the NFL’s most formidable quarterbacks. The dynamic duo’s synergy was undeniable. Allen helped make it evident to all that Diggs had been performing at the level of a top-tier No. 1 wideout for years. However, over the last few months, it became clear that this successful partnership was reaching its conclusion, for one reason or another.
Buffalo has a pair of quality wide receivers in Curtis Samuel and Khalil Shakir at the top of the depth chart and a Round 1 tight end selection from last year in Dalton Kincaid. They aren’t totally bereft of options surrounding Josh Allen but if it wasn’t already, wide receiver is right at the top of the organization’s needs as April’s NFL Draft looms.
In a deep class of X-receivers, they can stand pat in the late first round and find their next WR1. On the other hand, while it may be nothing more than fan fiction, don’t rule out an aggressive move up the draft board to secure Allen’s next target hog.
Now extremely relevant thought from @robertmays and me from today’s pod: Could a contending team (like the Bills) be preparing to make a Julio Jones-like trade up the draft board for one of the top 3 WR prospects? pic.twitter.com/vLkZ4fe2wQ
