This. Good pick Red.
I think Michael Floyd is going to have a breakout year...really wanted to draft him. Really good bench with Wayne, Boldin, Rivers, Moreno, Gates.
With my Boykin pick, I was also eyeing Hartline. I am very surprised he was still available. Keeper leagues do tend to knock reliable veterans down a few as owners go for more upside picks.
Like Hartline, I feel like most of my team is not flashy, but reliable. I went with more upside picks in previous years and they did not pan out, i.e. AZ RB Ryan Williams, Lamar Miller, DeAndre Hopkin, Stevan Ridley, Greg Little, Jahvid Best. It has hurt me pretty badly with regards to keepers and depth. Rodgers as been my team's savior until he got hurt himself last year and my team and lack of depth was really exposed.
If Floyd doesn't reach his potential as a WR1 or 2, I still can use Boldin or Wayne. I think I was also very lucky to get Joique Bell where I did because if I had to rely on Sproles as my RB2, that would be bad.
