Diggs is a good WR. I dont think hes one of those '' I CANT BELIEVE WE DIDN"T DRAFT DIGGS'' situations
he okay..not a rare breed of WR.
in the 4th round of the 2015 draft. That was a miss and I was a big time fan in 2015.

To push back on a couple of these:
1. Trading Boldin I think ultimately is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. The people that are pissed about it are doing so from a more "personal" stance of liking the player.
There was no scenario I see where he would have been here beyond 2013 (last year of his deal), and if we somehow did extend him, there's no scenario possible where we also signed Steve Smith in 2014. So you basically have one season where you had neither, and it wasn't the type of team that was going to seriously compete with or without either.
2. Flacco's second extension was predicated on the poor structure of the initial contract in 2013, so the blame should fall on that, not the 2nd extension itself. 2nd extension was actually pretty reasonable.

- Lack of a stable OC during Flacco's tenure
- Paying Pitta after he busted his hip
- Anything Eugene Monroe related
- Matt Elam and Arthur Brown
- Forgetting our offensive and defensive identity (ie 4th and 12 with Pees vs Mosley's Baker interception with Wink. Trestman airing it 50+ times with Flacco vs Roman running majority of the plays)
I tried to shy away from anything draft related because all that stuff is easy to nitpick with hindsight and instead tried to focus on things that we could/should have seen coming.
when youre on national tv and getting watched by millions of people you shouldnt provoke stuff like this. Now if earl was confront him, people would say “ he is just an analayst” but these analyst create narratives that dictates peoples jobs

The only good thing about Marc Trestman was Chloe

dude what the hell was that
with diggs it was more the fact that he played for maryland already and was an awesome prospect who got banged for size and injury and was available adn we still didnt take him
for me it was one of those "i cant believe we didnt draft diggs" situations mostly because he made it all the way to the 5th round - we could have had him in stead of tray walker, buck allen etc.
we could have taken him in stead of carl davis or maxx williams if we were willing to risk it too - or breshad perriman tbh
the only player from that class that it's not obvious we should have taken him over who we actually took is ZDS
nick boyle and darren waller also got picked in that draft but after Diggs was taken anyway
exactly - the real problem here was the structure of flacco's 1st contract
and with boldin that ultimately was meaningless trading him away - the only quibble i think you could reasonably have is that we only got a 6th rounder but not sure that on a rebuilding team he would have ultimately made any difference if we didnt trade him away... especially with the state of the OL in 2013

That was like if Trent Richardson switched to defense
