Sorry to pick on you man, cause it's not personal BUT this is an asinine way of thinking. There's no such roster in the NFL made up of 'low profile good players who are motivated' or 'young hungry players trying to prove themselves'. That's fine for roster spots 43-53 but if you're talking about players who are going to contribute week in and week out, every single Sunday you need playmakers, some are going to cost money and some are going to be high profile. Using your logic to exclude a 24 year old Sydney Rice (or those of his ilk) is as irresponsible as going out and trying to sign anyone and everyone just because ESPN says they are valuable.
We have a huge need for a young, big, athletic WR. Rice is 6-4, has great speed, history of success and is 24. If he isn't the #1 free agent on our board that's a huge failure by our front office.
