ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. released his latest mock draft Tuesday morning, giving the Pittsburgh Steelers a popular name with pick 17th. He has the team selecting Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr., dots easy to connect through his bloodlines and positions the team could look to strengthen. It’s a pick that’s unchanged from his previous edition.
“I’m sticking with this pairing from January, with Porter projected to the team that drafted his father in the third round in 1999. Even if free agent Cam Sutton returns, the Steelers could use a corner, with the 6-foot-2 Porter next on my board.
