    We don't need to spend that much money on a WR. We need to keep Foster and if possible, Mario. Draft some WR, maybe look at some other FA WRs. Wallace, while it would be amazing to have him, is going to be too much.

    I think Jean will shake some heads next year, he won't have a Victor Cruz crazy season but I think he'll show some good things. Really been forgotten around here, but, I liked him at Florida Atlantic.

    Mike Wallace is 25, is going to be 26 when the season starts, I dont see why people says he is not young.
    I definitely would trade Wallace for the 1st rd pick, we would have already an NFL-proven WR, and he could be the next #1 WR.

    I love Mario Williams, but I would trade him for Wallace and a 5th rd pick.
    Steelers are getting rid of defensive players, (Aaron Smith, James Farrior). so maybe they would want Mario.

    draft a WR in the 2nd round, restructure deal with walter and cut jacoby.

    Why would you trade Mario Williams for Mike Wallace and then draft ANOTHER wide receiver in the 2nd round? Seems redundant. Plus you would be trading away too much for Wallace IMO.

    Agreed, but I wouldn't draft a WR in 2nd round. But yea, I'd do that without hesitation. Wallace & Dre = too much shine

    The kid from GT Hill, ran a 4.30 forty..6 foot 4...That right there is reason to keep the pick.....

    He would be a great pick. Stephen Hill is his name and he averaged 29.5 yards a catch last year.

    Wallace with a more upside, plus we could draft a Joe Adams or another WR in the 3rd round and we have all we need at the WR spot.

    Why does he have more upside? Because GT only threw the ball 8 times a month?

    I would do this if we have the cap space. I think Mario will be gone as well. Reeds has taken over his spot and performed damn well at a hell of a cheaper price. This is a business, if you can get almost equal talent at an 1/8 of the price you do it instantly.

    Priorities are keeping Foster (he is also a fantastic receiver out of the backfield) Myers and Brisiel. I think Lester Jean will be a pretty significant boost next season. He is very fast and can be our lateral WR with AJ. I would cut Jacoby and Walters. I like Walters because of his great run blocking but we have 2-3 TE that can do that easily.

    Our offense has not been a problem in since Schaub and Kubiak have been here. Now that our defense is top 3 in the league, we need a legit 1-2 WR threat and that will open up our running game even more. We will be SB favorites if we land Wallace or anyone of the like.

    Taller and runs faster! LOLZ!

    I would love Mike Wallace. Unfortunately he doesn't just come at the cost of a pick, he costs a pretty hefty contract.

    Mike Wallace would be good , but he would cost a lil too much even with Mario Gone , which it looks like is gonna happen. I would go after Meachem or Early Doucet for this system. All we need is a good receiver who could stretch the field and we in the SuperBowl. Since We signed Arian ....we are probably gonna Franchise Myers and we might have to let Briesel go....But Myers is Crucial to O-Line Play....which is one of the Best O-Lines in the League

    i agree, spending all that $ on wallace means we gonna lose either mario or myers. I'd scout the heck outta Hill or Wright and take a chance on either one. Shoot, I'm really hoping Michael Floyd will drop to us, but that's just a wishful thinking.

    I hear Kyle Williams may be looking for a new home this offseason.
