With the Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Bowl less than a week away, it’s nearly draft season, and with ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. dropping his first mock draft on Monday, two days after the College Football National Championship, it’s officially time to start thinking about who could be future Steelers. Kiper picked a name that’s been mocked to Pittsburgh often in the early mock draft cycle, with the team selecting Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka.
Egbuka was thought to be one of the top receivers in last year’s draft class, but he decided to stay in school to chase a National Championship, and he got his ring with Ohio State’s win over Notre Dame on Monday.
