The only thing that favors Diggs in comparison to D-Hop is age. But clearly D-Hop is far from finished. Then there's the negative effect this will have on Watson. Randall Cobb is a stopgap. Wish we had traded Fuller instead.

Diggs is one year younger. 26 is not more valuable than 27 in the NFL. Age doesn't mitigate the embarrassing difference in return for them one bit. I'm not saying you were defending the deal based on age. I'm just being clear that it was zero factor here.
We have the worst GM in modern pro sports and in the last 12 months he has ruined our franchise in a way that will take a half decade to come back from. Deshaun Watson's career has been tanked. He has zero chance at winning anything meaningful, and the worst part is that Watson's brilliance is the thing O'Brien has traded on to amass an unprecedented amount of power in our franchise.
