So says PFW.
Not so sure It is much of a surpruse since they don't talk about where in the draft the steelers will be looking for these positions.

Steelers may be on lookout for versatile CB or WR on Draft Day
By Mike Wilkening
April 9, 2009


The Steelers were next-to-last in punt-return average and third-from-last in kickoff average a season ago, and with the depth at cornerback and wide receiver perhaps in need of a lift after the losses of Bryant McFadden and Nate Washington in free agency, a multitalented player at either position figures to hold some appeal to Pittsburgh on Draft Day, the way we hear it. WR Santonio Holmes returned punts last season and flashed big-play ability at points, but with his value on offense exceeding his value in the kicking game, his days as a returner may be numbered. The Steelers could get an in-house boost on kickoff returns from second-year RB Rashard Mendenhall, who has very good straight-line speed. Mewelde Moore and Gary Russell can also return kicks, but neither is as fast as Mendenhall.

The Stillers should see if they can get Roscoe Parrish from Buff. He's 26, returns kicks, w/b their #3 WR til Sweed is ready, & probly could be had for a 4th rd pick.
