Why Not?

However, your point stands, and you can't base this stuff off of hypothetical scenarios. As I mentioned in my first reply in this thread, I'm all for it, so long as the return is worth it, and we find a comparable player to replace Boyd. Morgan, Mike Thomas, etc are not that player. If the line gets fixed, Mixon may start being one of our main threats. Offensively speaking, I would agree that those three positions are the most expendable. 

This is correct in so many ways. We would need to draft a speedy guy who is a threat every time he touches the ball but we lose the catch every pass (except in SB) and we definitely are at more risk if Chase or Higgins are hurt. 

And yes with a solid Oline what could Mixon really do? I think he was hit more times prior to the line of scrimmage or gained yards on more run block fails (one of these or both) than any other back in the league this year.

If our running game really got going, the WRs would eat and the slot and TE would be check downs options only. 

But like our fans the team has favorites and they can be loyal to a fault which sounds good but really isnt. Because it is inconsistent, many guys will be cut because "it's a business" and others kept too long as fan favs. The FO should focus on how do we get to the SB every single season we have Burrow moving forward. Period.  (just my opinion)
