Would you do the deal...

Burrow and Chase not only carried this team past the playoff win drought but to the Super Bowl, do we really think Herbert and JJ come in and do the same? I for one don't, I'd say they also wouldn't have the same stats as where they currently are if they were with us.

Slater would be great.

Again for Diggs you guys are more enamored with stats, he had a year where the ball found his hands alot, I don't think thats sustainable but who knows. Outside of that he got beat quite a bit, like I said, he had a lower pff than Apple even with the 11 interceptions.

Except.... 
Justin Jefferson's results are with Kirk Cousins as his QB. Are we not believing that Justin Herbert is better than Kirk Cousins?
Justin Herbert's results are with the 29th scoring defense and a HC that refuses to kick FGs due to analytics that directly lost multiple games.

Meanwhile you get to add an 11 INT All-Pro CB, AND also whomever you take in the 1st round of the 2021 draft... Sewell? Slater? Parsons? Heck, maybe even Chase or DeVonta Smith?

As for Diggs "got beat quite a bit"... does it matter? If you win more than you lose, you are a winner. He gave up 4 TDs and got 11 INTs (including 2 that were pick sixes). He allowed a 55.8 QB Rating in his coverage. 

Damien Harris was PFF's 3rd ranked RB in 2021. Derrick Henry was 17th. Are you telling me you'd want Damien Harris over Derrick Henry?

As I said, Burrow pulled ahead of Herbert in 2021, but it wasn't so far that an All-Pro CB PLUS one of Chase/Sewell/Slater/Parsons doesn't cover that gap.
