Can't get behind the Boyd thing (this year). Next year in the last year of his deal would be great to get him to restructure/extend at a lower rate. He just comes across as such a team first guy that I want a veteran like that around to keep Chase & Higgins grounded. Plus, he's a 1,000 guy if either Chase or Higgins has an extended injury, he's great insurance to have. All that said, with them using high picks (and hitting) on WR the last two drafts, I don't think we see them using another high pick on the position even if Boyd is gone. I do think we see a WR taken this year in the middle to late rounds.

I know you said DL will be taken care of in free agency. I don't see them signing both Hill & Ogunjobi so there is an opening at back up 3T. I would like to a high upside pick there in the top half of the draft. 

I'd have to see who the OL signings are to see if I'd want OL drafted earlier than the 3rd, but there are only so many picks available. At the top of the draft, I think OL, CB, DT would be my ideal positions for a BPA pick.

LG - Andrew Norwell
C - Brian Allen (would cut Hopkins to help cover his cost)
RG - James Daniels
RT - Morgan Moses

DTs I had either Ogunjobi or Hill returning, with Sheldon Richardson added as a rotational DL.

WR in FA is of course my guy Josh Reynolds. Reynolds should be cheap ($2 mill or so). Between him and Robinson, who was added in Rd 2, WR3 and WR4 are covered.
