Boyd is a very good ceiling. His biggest knock is obviously his speed, as it's not elite and he doesn't have a second gear. However, he can reach his top speed pretty quickly and use his feet to keep momentum in and out of routes. Boyd was one of the best route runners in this class and arguably the best. He only dropped 10 balls these past 2 seasons while he had 169 receptions. He was the main focal point of that offense and there was very subpar QB play. If he had an offense around him, he could have gone much higher since he saw double teams a ton of times.
People say "we need someone to take over the top" but seem to forget that that's exactly what Green does. Heck, Jones never had a reception for over 47 yards.
What we lacked was a true possession receiver. We thought we had it in Sanu but in an expanded role in 2014 he struggled. We've even seen some focus drops from Green. Boyd adds soft hands and a dynamic presence with his athletic ability and catch radius.
There's a lot to like about Boyd. Sure, he's not the fastest or the strongest, but he understands routes and can certainly make teams hurt by using his feet. He's quick in and out of breaks and has made some crazy, acrobatic catches throughout college.
