I am in the school of thought that while it's not a need it does allow for "waves". Realistically you can just keep running fresh bodies out and sending pressure which has been used before (Giants) to win. No one can really name a LB from those Giant's SB teams and thats because they were average and not asked to do a whole lot. 

This makes a lot of sense, and I think he would be an immediate upgrade playing the NT position over Billings and Ringo, but I wonder how much money makes sense for a rotational player at DT vs. signing an every down player like Boyd.  Now, they have other options at slot WR (Erickson and perhaps the new kid, Stanley Morgan, but at such a critical piece of the offensive puzzle I think I would rather have Boyd than McCoy.

Plus, we further delay any development of Wren.  

I am not saying absolutely no...I really like imagining Piggy getting blindsided by a charging Lawson, Willis, or Dunlap while backpedaling away from pressure in his face, but I think they would be better served going with Billings, Wren, and Glasgow.  They invested in those guys who, at least Billings and Glasgow, should be starting to reach their potential.  If they lost Boyd AND didn't sign McCoy, then I would be pissed off.

I think the offense, under a creative mind, will soar with the likes of veterans Green, Boyd, Eifert, and Mixon as well as getting more out of Ross, Gio, and maybe even Tate.  Combine all that with the new additions of Sample, the young RBs, a revamped OLine and you might have one of the biggest surprises in the NFL.
