I think it was a Rick Venturi interview when they were saying that a lot of local guys are pegging Pierce as the #1 because he keeps looking better and better, in addition to being one of the best deep guys in the league.
That and the fact that this will be Pierce's age-25 and Pittman's age-28 season.

Also, regarding Raimann... Interesting fact on one of the shows I listened to is that there are like seven OT's making $25m+/year and 6 of them are Top-13 picks... Raimann is a 3rd-rounder.

If Pierce can be more than a deep threat, and become a true WR1, cutting Pittman and re-signing Pierce is an option. I'm actually far more interested in seeing how AD Mitchell develops this year, because IMO he has the highest ceiling of the group, and he and Downs would compliment each other perfectly, Downs as the shifty slot and Mitchell as the true X. If that happens, I don't care if the other receiver is Pittman, Pierce, a draft pick, or a free agent, because those two plus Warren would make a scary offense.
Also, picks like Bernhard Raimann are the reason that Ballard still has a job. I really hope Richardson excelling in camp isn't a mirage, because if Ballard can solve the QB position, he can put together an incredibly competitive team.
