I wasn't saying to do so in the first. FA, later rounds perhaps.

I can't see us going Oline in the first round. We need a WR, TE and RB but I see us waiting till round 3/4/5 for these. The Steeler way will be LB and S in the first 2 rounds UNLESS an unexpected stud drops that we can't ignore.

I think this is the year we grab a cheap FA WR. So we would have Brown, Sanders, Cotchery, FA and a Draft pick.

Really? way more pressing needs?

We are losing our #1 WR... we have no one remotely capable of replacing him. Emmanuel Sanders is unsigned and is barely an average NFL WR. Until we start cutting players... WR is clearly our most pressing need.

if we cut harrison, pass rusher joins WR as our most pressing need. and based on the depth behind him, i consider pressing regardless. but seriously... WR is right up there with any other position as a "pressing need"

When the only WRs you have under contract are :Antonio Brown, Jerricho Cotchery, and Tony Clemons...the position is most definitely pressing

i think we could see up to 7 WRs go in the first round. and the Steelers are one of the neediest teams at the position.
allen, hopkins, patterson, williams, hunter, austin, woods

I would not be opposed to a WR in the first but there are too many others that will be on the Steelers big board at 17. Maybe WR in the 2nd....but I still think we wait til the 3rd. Toney Clemons is signed by Jacksonville.

oops, i missed that one.

well, we've got david gilreath... so no worries. lol

I forgot about Gilreath......I do agree we need a bigger WR with some size and muscle to go along with our smaller and faster guys.

If we dont sign Wallace and spend the Millions... why cant we get a top FA WR and spend the same millions?
For the money... we could in reality, get a better WR than Wallace, for what he is asking right?

Reality check is we have few explosive Offensive players... And we have few explosive defensive turn over machines. we are average.. 8-8 is about right.
