Sanu and Keenan Allen are two very accurate ceilings for him, and both were 3rd round players themselves. Hence why others and I thought the pick was a reach.
As far as the offense not skipping a beat, we've no one outside of maybe Core who can replicate Jones's role, so, not sure about that.
This is probably the most inaccurate assessment on boyd that I have seen. Boyd is lightyears ahead of where sanu was coming out. Hes faster and much more atheletic than sanu. Hes also much better than sanu finding seperation. He does have a lot of contested catches because the entire defense would key on only him. Ive seen every single full game boyd had played since he got to pitt. Boyd has a way higher ceiling than sanu ever had and he has a chance to be better than keenan allen too so I wouldent say that is his ceiling. How much have you seen him play? Obviously not much other than your youtube "scouting"
Ps I dont put a ton of weight on 40 times...especially with a wr who wins on contested balls as much as boyd does. For what its worth he ran essentially the same 40 time as antonio brown at combine.
