Boyd had a decent year as a rookie but when you look deeper into their stats.. it was not like Thomas was so superior over Boyd. Thomas plays for a pass happy Saints.. he had 40 more targets than Boyd... if Boyd had that many targets looking at this stats, he would have averaged around 1.000 yards and had 6 TDs... as for picking a defense and sitting the bench. I don;t see it.. If we pick Foster.. he will play alot... same if we pick a DLine they will play also
We did pass on him. We had one first round CB barely getting any playing time and then we drafted another. When WR was far and away our biggest need after losing MJ and Sanu. I wanted Thomas in the first.
Our #1 WR got hurt and Lafell was apparently hurt too. Boyd didnt run away with the opportunity. Michael Thomas took it and made the Saints #1 WR Cooks tradeable.
My point of the first round pick getting minimal playing time was refering to our glut at CB. Dennard or WJ3 or hell maybe both if Shaw gets even better will barely see playing time.
I dont buy the concept the Bengals draft BPA. They draft for future needs. Ogbuehi and Fisher were picked because Andre and Whit had contracts ending. WJ3 was picked because Kirk had a contract ending. We are planning to much for the future and not enough on winning now.
