Meet the rookie class for the 2008-09 Pittsburgh Steelers. (provided by www.nfl.com)
# 1, 23rd overall: Rashard Mendenhall, Running Back, Illinois

With Felix Jones off the board, Mendenhall is a much better fit for Pittsburgh's style. While Mendenhall didn't win the starting job for two years, he enters the league without a lot of wear-and-tear on his body. In his only season as the featured back, he put up 1,681 yards and 17 touchdowns on 262 carries.

#2, 53rd overall: Limas Sweed, Wide Receiver, Texas

Once again the Steelers have found themselves a game-changer at great value. Many consider Sweed a Plaxico Burress-type receiver, with a 6-foot-4 frame and long arms. If he stays in line, he could find the same success with the Steelers that Burress had with Ben Roethlisberger before he left Pittsburgh.

#3, 88th overall: Bruce Davis, Defensive End, UCLA

Davis did very well in his first extended time as a linebacker at the Senior Bowl. He's a classic Steeler type of player. Davis is very bright and has a knack for getting to the quarterback with his speed.

#4, 130th overall: Tony Hills, Offensive Tackle, Texas

Hills has battled injuries during his career. He started 24 games during his time at Texas. He still has room to grow into his 6-foot-6 frame as a converted tight end.

#5, 156th overall: Dennis Dixon, Quarterback, Oregon

Dixon wants to play quarterback, but he can run, pass and catch. The Steelers will incorporate him into some packages of their offense. He could be utilized similar to Kordell Stewart in the last decade.

#6, 188th overall: Mike Humpal, Linebacker, Iowa

Humpal battled injuries early in his career to become a productive linebacker at Iowa. He has good size and will have a chance to stick around as a special teams contributor and reserve linebacker.

#7, 194th overall: Ryan Mundy, Safety, West Virginia

Mundy is a safety who can run well. He's not real big, but was a productive three-year starter at West Virginia.
