I honestly don't know which is better:
Move Boyd to X and have Erickson play slot
Leave Boyd at slot and have a rotation of Malone and Core at X.
Erickson will stay play in 4 WR sets and when Boyd takes a break.
I am inclined to avoid messing with Boyd, as he has become the clutch third (and fourth!) down target for Dalton. This isn't a slight on Erickson, but we haven't had a slot WR with this kind of production since TJ in his prime, and that offense (which was rarely with these three) with TJ, Chad, and Henry was unstoppable. Still praying Ross can continue to develop and become the threat I believe he can THIS YEAR on the outside.
