Is Mike Wallace worth the 6th pick?

Just a fun discussion in the offseason... in the free agent thread there is no real mention of Wallace. I was just thinking Wallace is a legit proven NFL 1000 yard reciever, young, blazing speed TD Machine.

okay let say a sign in trade for the second round pick?

I like him but definitely not for #6 overall.

Hell to the NO. Absolutely not. You crazy? Nope. Zilch.



That about sums it up.

Who's going to throw him the ball?

yes

No to Wallace and no to Blackmon with the #6 pick. Good WRs can be had anywhere. Shut down Corners on the other hand;)

You mean #6 pick plus a LARGE contract, I think not, even if we trade back I still say NO.

Who's going to throw him the ball?

Who else? Manning. Team might as well break the bank.

Yes. My reasoning is this:

1. He's younger than Wallace. Granted, 25 is not that old, but I'd rather have Blackmon. 22 > 25.

2. Blackmon is the kind of big bodied receiver who I can see making all the catches; short, intermediate, deep, sideline, ins, outs, etc. He's not the burner Wallace is, but I feel like that's the primary thing Wallace has going for him. They are both relatively same height, but I feel like Blackmon would have a better shot in a jump ball scenario due to being able to use his weight to box out defenders.

Long story short they are both great in their own right, but I prefer Blackmon. And the 6th pick, while not a top 5 pick, is still worth plenty and you have a lot more options with it. I just think the 6th overall pick would be a ransom for the Steelers.

My math teacher was lying to me all along...
