I feel they panicked when all the WRs came off the board before their round 1 pick, which led to forcing the Boyd pick. Boyd is like a younger LaFell. Sound WR probably best suited for the slot. Ross is the guy we needed. A guy that seriously addresses the spot and gives us a thread if Eifert and AJ go down (which tends to happen).

Plus by the time it's time to resign Ross, it'll be time for Green to retire.

This also gives us great depth at WR for the first time in years, which is something I've complained about since I joined the old boards. We haven't been 4 deep at WR since 2005ish.

To the bold, I hope you're right. But my gut is, by the time Green retires, Ross will be on the  Eifert track who, at best, will be doing kick returns.
