If you’re looking for a Terrell Edmunds or Artie Burns level of surprise, Daniel Jeremiah’s mock draft is the place to go. In his latest projection released Tuesday morning, he has the Pittsburgh Steelers selecting Kentucky corner Lonnie Johnson at #20. Even admitting this is a surprise, he writes:
“This is higher than I have Johnson rated, but he’s catching a lot of buzz right now and the Steelers have a need at the position.”
I haven’t heard much about Johnson generating that much buzz lately but Jeremiah is one of the most plugged in draft analysts in the game.
