The Bengals drafted a ton of freaks

Boyd should have FEASTED last year.

This offense is a middle of the field recieving threat away from being unstopable. An aging Boyd who doesnt get much seperation anymore isn't the answer.

I get what you're saying. I was surprised that Boyd didn't have a bigger year last year. I think the bigger problem was he kept getting banged up. I don't have an official record of such things, but I think he left in the middle of at least 3 games, including the AFCCG. At the very least, he left the Browns game with his finger and the AFCCG with his thigh. And, with him out, Irwin came in and it just wasn't good enough. If nothing else, Jones offers a legitimate threat from the slot in the case that Boyd goes down with an injury in an important game. 

He also hasn't had an 1000 yard season since Burrow has been here, even before Chase was drafted. He's a good slot and a reliable target, but I definitely think this is his last year in stripes unless he wants to sign a super cheap deal for the Bengals.
