Next day, one of the starting WRs is lost for the season with an injury.

The board screams "Why did we trade Boyd?"

This team had an amazing run of luck with injuries last year, no reason to trade away from depth for no reason and $8 million in cap space isn't going to replace the void of a veteran and productive slot WR.

You don't trade Boyd without some contingency in place.
That contingency would have to be either a cheaper vet who has proven to at least be near that production in the past or a promising draft pick (likely Day 2).
