The Facts:
Now that the Broncos have
won the Peyton Manning sweepstakes, they’re the newest entrants in the Wallace sweepstakes. “I would make an offer that Pittsburgh would have a lot of trouble matching for Mike Wallace,” NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said today. “I’d be happy to give up my first-round pick, and I’d make that young man a rich, rich young man."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With the dust settling in Denver after Manning told the Broncos today that he’ll be their QB, the next step in the Broncos’ offseason plan of action (in addition to trading Tim Tebow) will be assembling a roster of players that fits Manning’s strengths. And although bringing in Manning’s buddies like Jeff Saturday, Brandon Stokley, Dallas Clark or Joseph Addai might be nice, what would really help the offense is the addition of a big-play wide receiver. "I’d have a vertical threat to go along with Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas — I might look at Dallas Clark. You’ve made a commitment to Peyton Manning. Now let’s go get him the weapons.” Wallace, a restricted free agent, may just be that receiver. Any team that signs Wallace to an offer sheet that the Steelers don’t match would owe the Steelers their first-round draft pick, but Mayock contends Wallace would help the Broncos more than whatever player they might take 25th overall. It's a valid point.
