Mike Wallace

I'd definitely consider Wallace for #35, depending on the contract.

I love Wallace, and I really hope he stays with the Steelers, but my guess is maybe a high 2nd round pick would do them in (if they can get around his tag thing).

But honestly, I fear Wallace doesn't know how good of a situation he is in. Pittsburgh is his best bet, and with him willing to go anywhere for more money, his skillset might not be as used there as it is here.

Do we have the money to even go after Wallace?

I would rather sign Mike Wallace, and give the Steelers the 3rd overall pick, than draft Floyd or Blackmon in that spot.

Of course, if MN can work out a trade for pick 35, you have to take that deal in a heart beat.

I love, love, love Wallace. But the one thing that stands out about him is he's almost a Percy Harvin clone. In terms of size and weight. I would really like us to acquire a bigger WR, possession type of guy vs a speedster.

But like I said, I love Wallace and would welcome him with open arms. He is a dangerous player.

If the Vikings could sell the Steelers on taking the #35 for him, you do it. Like VR notes above, Wallace may not be a big bodied WR, but he's the guy with the deep speed and downfield receiving skills that would be a superb compliment to Percy Harvin's abilities as a more underneath, YAC-type WR. Wallace blows the top off of coverage shells, pushing safeties and corners back to account for his ability to get deep quickly and reel in the catch; Harvin threatens the short and intermediate zones, forcing LBs to take deeper drops. With Safeties and Linebackers looking to move further away from the LOS to account for such a pair of WRs, that opens up gaps for Rudolph/Carlson and Mike Jenkins to do damage on short and intermediate routes, and creates running lanes for AP and Gerhart.

I like the prospects that should be available at #35, but if the Vikings can do it, I'd much rather have a still-young, proven deep threat WR like Mike Wallace.

I had not really thought of this option, but yes, I think that Wallace would be a hell of a fit for us, and the 35 is close enough to a first rounder that I think the Steelers could jump at it. Even better yet, if the Vikes can jettison the 3rd to a team like Miami to pick up at least their 2nd and swap 1st's, then I think we could still stand to address our LT issue by taking Reiff if Kalil isn't around at 8 (which honestly, either could be there at 8 still depending on St. Louis), and picking up the extra 2nd rounder would make the loss of 35 way less painful. We could focus much more on defense at this point. It seems like it is not quite Speilman-esque, because he doesn't seem like a wheeler and dealer type, but it would keep with a youth movement style, and I love that. Addition to our team

If Spielmen could somehow get Wallace at #35...!!! He's young, talented, and would compliment Harvin perfectly. Then we can draft a WR like Quick in the 3rd as a project bigbody possession receiver.

No brainer you deal #35 for a proven, great WR. No brainer.

No way I do that if I'm the Steelers though.

It would also make the lack of impact FA signings bad, as one piece is not going to fix this team.....
