And in '12 we made the playoffs when our #2 WR was 5'7".

Even though we used a first round pick on him Ross does not have to be our #1 WR.  He can be VERY valuable to the entire offense even if he doesn't have a 1000 yds.  Marvin Jones's best season with the Bengals was only 816 yds, but look what he did for our offense in '15.

You are correct, Ross doesn't have to be our #1 WR.

But, being the 9th overall pick, can't we at least expect him to beat out Boyd, Malone or Erickson for some playing time as the #5 WR?

Before we start talking about him being a #1 or #2 or even a #3 WR on the team doesn't he need to out play someone first? Maybe one and all are forgetting that even when healthy he barely earned being active. He played in 3 games, but was a healthy inactive for at least that many other games. People will see that he played in 3 games and think he was injured for 13 games. But that's not the case at all. he didn't get in done in practice sufficiently for Marv to put him on the active roster, so the team just left him at home.
