Mock drafts are a dime a dozen these days. But when NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein posts one, it’s worth bringing up. In his first mock draft of the year, his pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers is a logical though expected one, mocking the team Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr. at #17. Explaining the pick, he writes:
“I mean, come on. I get to put the long-limbed press corner and son of former Steelers All-Pro Joey Porter in this spot for Pittsburgh? How could I not?”
Short, sweet, to the point, and certainly none of that is wrong.
