I like this signing much better than that fragile vase Maclin

[Snakebitten]

1 year up to $2.5m. It makes sense.

[broadstreetparade]

He's an upgrade over Torrey for half the price. Nice move.

[Ellsworth]

Agreed. Needed a deep guy. Got one. Marlin can’t do that. Never could. And agholar deserves to In the slot where he thrived all season

[Raptor]

Good pickup ....

A sound replacement for Torrey.


Howie strikes again.

[art vandelay]

agreed. they needed a burner. they got one. he's had some pretty good seasons since leaving pittsburgh without ever having a real QB.

kind of funny that we've replaced smith with another field-stretching former raven.

Howie

droppin dimes baby!

[BigSlizz]

This is a nice pickup. I think he's better than Smith.

[RSE]

I have a soft spot for Smith. For all his issues he showed up big time against the Vikings and Patriots.

[BigSlizz]

I would have been happy if Smith stuck around. He was just a good fit.

But in terms of being a deep threat, the one trick pony is going to do well here.

[art vandelay]

smith was the kind of guy whose value you wouldn't realize until he was gone. almost like when pinkston got hurt in 05 then greg lewis was horrible as a starter. but i think they've avoided that by bringing in wallace.

Nothing else matters. What Torrey did in the playoffs is forever.

That aside, this is a damn good signing. The transformation of this receiving corps over the course of one calendar year has been incredible.

[CbEagle]

Pushes back the need for number 1 pick for wr till next year, now focus on Lb or maybe Ol.

[Snakebitten]

With wide receiver now off the board, I'm still going to expect a lineman to be drafted if they don't trade out of the first round. My preference is to trade down and get a running back in the second round. That may change if a quality player drops to #32 which seems to happen every year.
