Should we go after Wallace

We can probably get a good wide receiver like Muhamed Sanu of Rutgers with the 42nd pick, if that is what we want. Sanu didn't have the best Combine in terms of 40 yard dash, but he is one of those guys who plays better than individual stats. There should also be other WR's in the 2nd and 3rd round who are really good. Hopefully we won't need to draft a WR, and can get a guy like Reggie Wayne through free agency.
 
Wallace is better than anything we're going to get with the 8th pick. You do this, but it won't matter since the Steelers will match.

If someone signs Wallace to a big deal there's nothing Pittsburgh can do. There hands are tied because of their cap situation. They've already restructured Roethlisberger, Woodley, Timmons, Colon, & Taylor's contracts plus cut Ward, Kemoeatu, Smith, McFadden, Battle & today either Farrior or Foote. There's not much else they can do. If a team signs Wallace to a deal that includes a huge base salary this year, Pitt is screwed.
 
Only if we can trade down and acquire extra picks. Maybe a 1st and 2nd for the 8th pick.

You have to use your pick to sign a restricted free agent. So if we trade down in the first it takes us out of the RFA market.
