I think Willie Reid was a good pick, hes similar to randel el and will fill his spot nicely.(i was kinda hoping for Michael Robinson to fill his void, but reid is a good return man).
I never heard a steelers fan not liking ward, but i respect that. In his defense though he deserved that contract and the short "holdout" wasnt that bad. But i think hes underappreciated and one of the more "complete" WR in the NFL.

You've never got a teenage girl drunk before? lol I guess I was a pretty big drinker in college, and drank some in high school, so I've definitely been there, done that. I just hope that Holmes will be ok. If he was indeed slapping around his gf, he's a piece of crap in my book. Just because she dropped charges, doesn't mean it didn't happen though. I'm not saying he is guilty, but he's not necessarily innocent either. I think that Willie Reid will be a GREAT addition to the team. He's got speed, athleticism, and an OUTSTANDING attitude. I'll see if I can find it, but there's an article from when he was at Florida State, talking about how he always did what was best for the team, switching positions (WR, RB, PR), broke Deion Sanders' punt return yardage record, etc. I was hoping for Reggie McNeal. He has much better speed than Robinson, and more agile too. Robinson sounds like a good guy too, but wasn't my choice.
As far as Ward goes, I hate holdouts with a passion. They're already making a million a year, and they have to have more...it's ridiculous. There was stuff in the papers about him saying "after the way they treated me, I have nothing to say to them". I paraphrased, but they never did anything to him, and he's bashing them in the media. I just lost my respect for him over the combination of those things. His laughing at the competition comes across to me as arrogant as well. I still cheer for him when he makes a big play for the black and gold, but it's more cause it benefits the team than it is cause I like seeing him make plays.
