General manager Brandon Beane traded a first-round pick to the Minnesota Vikings ahead of the 2020 season for Diggs.
In the end, the Vikings selected Justin Jefferson with Buffalo’s pick, so it looks like a win-win deal, especially with Diggs signing a new four-year extension to end his career with the Bills.
But Diggs wasn’t always so coveted. The Vikes found a diamond in the rough with him in 2015 as he was originally a fifth-round pick. A total of 18 receivers were picked ahead of him.
In light of Diggs’ new deal in Buffalo, here’s a rundown of all 18 receivers picked ahead of him in 2015:
