Steelers are about to dangle him. lets make our offense even more dynamic.. The steelers signed antonio brown yesterday instead of giving the money to wallace like they should have.. if they let him walk they'll get a 3rd round pick, at the very end of the round. i'd offer our 2014 3rd rounder for him. since we don't have next years.. it allows them to move up a couple of picks, hopefully only 1 :) i know i'll get eaten alive for this. "trading a pick". but his talent and speed is undeniable. he can be our future #1 and allow us to move smitty around A LOT more. smitty, wallace, lafell, gettis, murphy, adams, pilares. we'd have to keep 7 recievers on the active roster but we could because our o-line has so much versatility. highly doubtful. but what do yall think?we got olsen for a 3rd and it wasn't even reported we were interested until the day the trade happened. why not get wallace? whatcha'll think? but with that said i do love the squad we have and have full confidence we can compete for a championship with the roster we have!

While he'd be a perfect heir for Smitty, and based on talent and value alone I'd probably even offer a 2nd for him (or maybe a 2014 2nd), right now the money ain't right for this move (needing to resign Stewart, etc) and I'm sure they wanna see what they have in the young fellas they have currently.

Now after this season, if the possibility is still there and Murphy, Gettis, Pilares and Adams (assuming those are the other 4 WRs on our roster with Smitty and Lafell) all look like they don't have much potential then F yea, go get Wallace.

    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade. 
    • Even limited as he was I still don't think they have replaced his production, and not just the sack stats. The games Clowney missed it was very obvious what his value still was. Risky move but whatever. They only had 32 sacks last year and if that drops then it's going to get ugly. I see the improvement in run stopping but not in pass protect in any way.
