The Steelers, however, likely couldn't have imagined that Mendenhall woul d fall all the way to #23 -- though the former Illini back was rumored to be slipping. The combination of both Parker and Mendenhall gives the Steelers a spectacular 1-2 punch at running back. 2 22 53 Limas Sweed WR Texas Draft Scout Says: Big Ben lobbied for a red-zone target and got one with the Steelers drafting receiver Limas Sweed in the second round. Possessing first round caliber athleticism, Sweed dropped down the board due to concerns about his consistency while at Texas and a wri st injury that marred his senior season. At this point, however, Sweed provided excellent value. 3 25 88 Bruce Davis OLB UCLA Draft Scout Says: As the Steelers did last year with former Michigan standout LaMarr Woodley, the club may have struck OLB gold with Bruce Davis in the third round. Davis, a collegiate DE, struggled in making the transition to linebacker at the Senior Bowl practices, but has the athleticism to handle this move with time. 4 32 130 Tony Hills OT Texas (From Giants) 5 23 156 Dennis Dixon QB Oregon 6 22 188 Mike Humpal OLB Iowa 6 28 194 Ryan Mundy FS West Virginia (Giants acquired pick from Packers for RB Ryan Grant, September 1, 2007.)
