Sweed beats out Devin Thomas and Donnie Avery in our soon-to-be-released keeper rookie WR rankings.
Roethlisberger missed Plax Burress so much that he made the controversial move of publicly asking for a tall receiver this off-season. He got one in Limas Sweed (6-4, 215). The two appear set to dominate for years in a very young offense.  Aside from Hines Ward (32), who Sweed will likely push aside in a year, the average age of all the Steelers’ skill position players is only 24! Combine that with a still good o-line and you have the makings of a great keeper/dynasty prospect.
In two years, don’t be surprised if Sweed takes WR1 duties away from Santonio Holmes as Sweed is almost 6 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier, potentially making him Big Ben’s preferred red zone target and go-to guy.
