I know that KC has a need at WR already but they also have to look at the future. I think about the Vikings trading away Stefon Diggs and I thought how stupid it was until they drafted what may be a better player in Justin Jefferson with the 1st round pick they got and saved a load of money in the process.
Now, the Bills gave up a 1st, 5th, 6th, and future 4th for Diggs and a 7th.
When I think about how dynamic Hill is in terms of being a game-changer in a split second, I think he may bring a bigger return.
So, hypothetical...
Let's say a team calls you up that's in desperate need of a sure-fire playmaker because they just don't possess any. My logical thought for such a thing would be the Atlanta Falcons.
Part I
The Falcons offer you the 8th overall pick and their 3rd round pick #74.
You pretend your Bart and field the call. Do you accept the trade and save $18 million on the cap this year, thus rolling the dice by needing both a #1 and #2 receiver, or do you decline and force your hand to pay this guy at least another 90 million (and likely more) over the next 4 years?
Part II
The Falcons are gun shy and don't want to give up the #8 overall but the Eagles call offering 15 and 83 because they think Hill puts them over the top. Would you still do the deal if you'd do it for #8 or would you back out?
Part III
If you still haven't said no freakin' way, at what point do you say no?

Prophetic. Too bad the return for Hill was nowhere close to this.
