It appears we'll be getting someone's #1 draft pick.
Does anyone else smell Wallace for the Ram's #2?

I saw on ESPN where they were reporting that the Steelers were just going to put a first round tender on him instead of the franchise tag(2.7 million vs. 9.4 million). Honestly, I don't see a team giving him a big contract AND giving up a first round pick, not with the crop of free agent wide receivers that are going to be available. Certainly is possible, though.
