1. If the coaches thought Boyd was fast and had great potential as an outside WR, we would not have drafted Ross.
2. The Housh comparison's and 100 catch predictions are a bit much. People are starting to overrate him the way they did with MLJ and Sanu.
3. We panicked when all the WRs flew off the board last year and took Boyd out of necessity, but it's clear he's not the guy the coaches want to be starting.
I see Boyd as a Sanu/LaFell replacement. Which will make him the #3 WR and primarily a slot guy by default. It's clear AJ and Ross will be starting (sooner than later), so who do people think will man the slot? This doesn't mean Boyd can't play outside in a pinch, but I don't think he's ideal there, hence the drafting of Ross.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
