The 2015 NFL Draft was one of the best in Minnesota Vikings history. They drafted three future starters on defense and signed undrafted free agent Anthony Harris, who would start from 2018 to 2020. But none of those players matched the star power of fifth-round pick Stefon Diggs.

Drafted 146th overall, Diggs led the Vikings in receiving yards as a rookie. He formed one of the league’s best 1-2 receiving tandems with Adam Thielen. But Diggs solidified himself as an NFL star and Vikings legend when he caught a 61-yard touchdown pass from Case Keenum to beat the New Orleans Saints in the 2017-18 Divisional Playoffs.

Diggs caught 365 passes for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns in Minnesota before getting traded to Buffalo after the 2019 season. Altogether, Diggs has caught 857 passes for 10,491 yards and 70 touchdowns in his 10-year career. Because of that, PFF believes he’d be the first overall pick in the 2015 draft if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers could do it all over again.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston with the top pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Winston’s five-year run in Tampa was a rollercoaster, highlighted by his infamous 2019 season when he became the first quarterback in league history to throw for 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions. Since then, he’s bounced around the NFL and currently serves as a backup for the New York Giants.

There wasn’t an obvious choice at No. 1 in this redraft, but we’re giving the Buccaneers wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who originally went in the fifth round to Minnesota. Diggs has made four Pro Bowls and ranks as the sixth-most valuable wide receiver in the league since 2015, according to PFF’s wins above replacement metric. Pairing him with Mike Evans would have given Tampa Bay one of the NFL’s most dominant receiver duos for the past decade.

Evans and Diggs would have been an unstoppable receiver tandem. The Bucs still would have had to figure out the quarterback situation, but those are the kinds of issues the team with the first pick runs into.

Diggs’ time in Minnesota didn’t last as long as fans would have liked, but he’ll always hold a special place in Vikings history for his contributions to the 2017 team.
