Who they like

Here's a short list of players the Steelers showed interest in at the draft combine in Indianapolis over the weekend:

RB Wali Lundy, Virginia
RB Maurice Drew, UCLA
LB Chad Greenway, Iowa
LB Bobby Carpenter, Ohio State
LB Parys Haralson, Tennessee
S Donte Whitner, Ohio State
DT Babatunde Oshinowo, Stanford
OG Charles Spencer, Pitt
OG Davin Joseph, Oklahoma

That's what we know so far. Lundy and Drew are mid-round prospects, while the linebackers they spoke to carry first-round grades. Whitner is seen as a second-rounder, as are Spencer and Joseph. Oshinowo is a pure nose tackle and carries a late-round grade.

That's the early news. Greenway didn't wow anybody at the combine. But he's a player. Some teams may bump some guys ahead of him because of the combine efforts. Carpenter, I believe, will be there when they pick.

I really like what I see in Whitner. I think he would be a good addition to the Steelers along with bringing Ty Law in to sure up the secondary.
