When Daniel Jeremiah posts his mock draft 1.0, draft season is officially underway. In his opening mock, he had the Pittsburgh Steelers addressing a big need, taking a huge step towards alleviating one of their biggest 2024 roster issues. He has them selecting Texas WR Matthew Golden.
“I don’t think the Steelers could go wrong drafting Golden or Ohio State’s Emeka Egbuka here,” Jeremiah wrote. “They go with Golden in this case, but they are both professional route runners with outstanding hands and toughness.”
Egbuka is the other popular name if the Steelers go with a receiver in the first round, and Jeremiah acknowledged that it could go either way.
