Bills paid the price to get Stefon Diggs and Josh Allen, and they lead a playoff win over the Colts

In 2018, the Buffalo Bills wanted Josh Allen. They traded the 12th, 53rd and 56th overall picks to move up to No. 7 to get Allen. That was steep for a raw quarterback who was questioned for his accuracy and production in college.

In 2020, the Bills wanted a No. 1 receiver to pair with Allen. Many thought they overpaid to get Stefon Diggs from the Minnesota Vikings, sending 2020 first-, fifth- and sixth-round picks along with a 2021 fourth-round pick for Diggs. The first-round pick became Justin Jefferson, who set an NFL rookie record for receiving yards.
