Boyd will have to show a great deal of improvement to take reps from LaFell. Indications would seem to hint at the staff not being too enamored with Boyd. They wouldn't have reupped LaFell and then spent a Top 10 pick on Ross and a 4th on Malone if they were happy with Boyd.
With the current depth at DT, I can also see them kicking Hardison to LDE to back up Dunlap.
We've got to remember that (1) Boyd was a rookie last year; (2) Ross was probably the best player available when we picked him; and (3) you can't coach speed.
IMHO, Boyd did fine in his first year and you need depth. Had they not re-upped LaFell, they would need to start Ross immediately in 3 WR sets.
