Kupp is a slot player and the Jags have Kirk so that's a no.

Almost all WRs are divas by nature. They want the ball. Can't blame Diggs for not winning a SB when they lost a playoff game because the Bills didn't get the coin to flip their way in OT.

Again. This argument isn't really about Calvin Ridley as much as it is giving up major resources to secure a player who currently isn't that great. 

And you keep harping on Baalke not hitting on draft picks. So if he's here, you wanna take away more draft picks which gives him even less odds to hit on a good player?

We all want the Jags to upgrade the Oline. That's priority #1. So what's the best way to do that? Use money and draft picks right? And the more money and draft picks they have, the better their chances are of doing that.

My guy, he had 13 picks back in April and so far he's maybe hit on 3 of them. Harrison, Johnson and Washington. Can we really afford for this team to drop yet another 2nd RD pick on a "Well, we'll see him improve next year".

This is why we're in this position now. Because we kept drafting hope players and shelf players early instead of guys that were more complete and ready to go out the box. You're also not factoring in that you're not just getting an Adams or Diggs.

You're giving up PICKS for them. Adams signed a 5 year, $140M deal LAST year. He's not coming off of that price tag and his price tag would be MORE than a 2nd RD pick. PERIOD. Same for Diggs. He signed his deal LAST year. 4 year, $104M. And, again, Buffalo will want MORE than just a 2nd RD pick for him. 

In your scenario? You're looking to have the team not only pay more per year, but, also, easily give up more draft picks with too many holes to fill. Just my opinion.

I understand I would be giving up picks and having to pay them but I'm paying for an elite player. Not some guy who is inconsistent week in and week out.

And if I had the choice between giving up picks and money for Adams/Diggs or Ridley? The decision is very very easy.

My main option is to do neither of those but if given the choice, it's Adams or Diggs.
