I say yes and more say than a QB. Skelton super late if he is still there and what @WR.. high or home?? Something in the 3rd or 4th..This might deserve its own thread. 8-)

Yeah a WR is now in play for the Steelers draft, although I still think they would avoid Dez Bryant if given a shot at drafting him. Perhaps someone in round 2 or 3, although definitely not Mardy Gilyard who's been busted for weed before as well. :lol:

I just posted Benn at one of my auction leagues.. I also had to place a bid on Wallace. I got him in 3 other leagues and drafted him in all of them. Looking better for him now. Sky could be the limit of MIke Wallace. Needs to work even harder now.

Regardless, I said that I felt that I wuld like them to target Benn if they could in the 2nd round .Perhaps with thier own and one of the 5ths. Geez they got three of em.
Benn will not be another 2nd rd bust like Sweed. He is a big WR. Does he fall favorably in comparison with Andre Johnson? (and that is just on height and weight and not anything else as we already know what Andre is!

Sweed is a big WR too. His problem is all in his mind! Wasn't he dealing with depression last year?

WTF on the 5th round pick. Even Anquan fetched a 3rd & 4th. This move totally changes the trade value for WR. Think a few years ago Seattle traded a #1 for Deion Branch and the Cowboys....well wow!

Good point.. I want a big guy. Benn or Bryant could be what the Dr ordered...although it would shock me if it were Dez. Just dont see him falling there and if he does..it would be def be interesting to see.. maybe a trade down for OL or DB and extra pick so can go get a WR in 2nd rd?

I mentioned this on another post but, yes it tells how they feel about negative off field issues as long as it isn't their franchise QB. Well, then he can do whatever he wants.

Very good Point . I see that evolving as well. Howvever, Prinicipal Goodell wont be so tolerant. IM sure Ben has to be realizing his whole career could potentially be on the line in a matter of hours.

Yeah but Ben knew before he went into that college bar what could happen to his career and he did it anyway. Why was he at a college bar to begin with? NFL players think they are above the law and for the most part they are. Several things they do just cost them a little cash or nothing at all when our butts would be sitting in jail.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer confirms that Santonio Holmes' impending four-game suspension is for a violation of the NFL's drug policy.

The ban is not related to performance enhancers, and will be formally announced on Monday. This is Holmes' second violation of the NFL's policy on illegal drugs, so he's one misstep away from a year-long suspension.

WPXI in Pittsburgh reports Santonio Holmes had to be escorted off a plane Thursday night at Pittsburgh International Airport.

Holmes was not arrested, but he had to be pulled off the plane for what investigators termed being a "disruptive passenger." NFL commissioner Roger Goodell isn't going to look kindly on the incident after the offseason that Holmes has had. We were skeptical that Holmes was going to keep his nose clean earlier this month when he issued an apology with a marijuana symbol still present on his official website.

I'm glad I unloaded Holmes as part of a package deal recently. In a 16 team IDP league I gave up Ryan, Holmes, Keller and 2010 1.14 for Leinart, Crabtree, Finley and 1.05. I'm tired of dealing with idiots that continue to show that they are idiots. Guys with repeat offenses just aren't worth the headache unless they come real cheap.
