That's different than saying we need to trade/cut player XYZ because the guys behind him deserve a chance to start. We didn't release Lafell because we wanted to see what we had in Boyd, Boyd showed the team enough for them to *GASP* legitimately promote him!
Wow, earning your way on the field! What a novel concept! But in the world where Marvin is always playing the wrong players because he's a big ol sack of dumb, a process like that just can't be trusted.
But again, every year we accuse any WR who isn't AJ Green of getting in the way of our wildly talented WR bench.
Well yeah, he did earn his way on the field.....but the point I was making was that people didn't want Lafell gone for a 7th rounder to see action. It was for a 2nd and 1st rounder. FWIW, I was indifferent on Lafell, but wanted an upgrade. He was a decent stop gap, and did well in that role. He's nowhere near as dynamic as Tyler Boyd.
Literally anyone that can catch a football is an upgrade over Core though, that should be abundantly clear at this point.
