RedzoneMonster 102 Posted August 1, 2008 Looks to be going around rds 5-6 in most drafts behind guys like Roy Williams, Brandon Marshall, and Greg Jennings. Personally I'd take Holmes over any of them. Has put up great number (relatively speaking) in his first 2 years in the league and now he's entering that "magical 3rd year". Add to that a rough schedule (for the PIT DEF at least) that is going to require the offense to throw a lot.. I think he's going to be at least a SOLID #2wr with potential to be a top 5 WR pick next year. PIT 2008 Schedule: HOU @CLE @PHI BAL @JAX BYE @CIN NYG @WAS IND SD CIN @NE DAL @BAL @TEN CLE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is really not a great PPR guy becasue They just don't throw much and Ward is the first look on most plays other than bombs. I see maybe a ceiling of 75 - 1100 - 9 and a floor of 55 - 900 - 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see maybe a ceiling of 75 - 1100 - 9 and a floor of 55 - 900 - 5 I see your point about PPR leagues. He's not going to get 85+ rec this year, but you can't deny his overall yardage and TD #'s his first 2 years. Ward is one year older as well. I'm not saying draft him as a #1, but if you can somehow manage to get him as your #3, or at least wait on him as a #2 and fill another position instead, I think you'll be happy..

With that said, Santonio has really nice potential if the steelers decide to go to the air more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Texansfan 0 Posted August 1, 2008 I'll let someone else take Holmes in the 5th round and I'll grab Hines Ward in the 6th or 7th and smile all season. Ward is still Ben's "go to" guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apollo Creed 9 Posted August 1, 2008 Steelers Oline took a hit.. which hurts Big Ben, which hurts Holmes.. i like homles but as a solid #3. i smell trouble for pitts offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Borat33 17 Posted August 1, 2008 I'll let someone else take Holmes in the 5th round and I'll grab Hines Ward in the 6th or 7th and smile all season. Ward is still Ben's "go to" guy. In 3rd downs. Holmes will definitely put up better numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
