I agree about going perimeter receiver over slot type.  Building the OL to where Joe consistently get's 4+ seconds of solid protection, Tyler Boyd could really exploit a lot of mis-matches versus a team's 3rd best CB, likely causing one of the Safeties to have to pull off of one of the outside receivers.

Edit: So given that we like big bodied Tyler Boyd in slot, and big bodied Tee Higgins in the X position, what we really should be targeting at WR is a speedy Z receiver. That kind of opens things up for a lot of mid-round, 2 and 3 tool players. Should be relatively easy role to fill.
