With you 100%. I feel very comfortable with Boyd and Erickson in the slot. The kid just knows how to find spots in zone coverage and have very good hands, and quick feet. He isn't going to blaze a 4.3 forty-yard dash, but he has short-space quicks, a la Sexy Rexy.
If there was another WR I would use to replace Lafell it would be another later round selection that has vertical speed to pair with Core at X.
Lafell was very solid for us this year, but aside from one busted play at Houston, he never really stretched the field opposite Green, who should, along with Eifert, draw the majority of the coverage.
I would not select any WR before a RB and offensive line is addressed, however. And DE, of course.
