20. Pittsburgh Steelers – Lonnie Johnson, Jr., CB, Kentucky
This is an interesting move by Jeremiah. It’s the first mock draft that has Johnson as the second cornerback off the board (after LSU’s Greedy Williams). Johnson’s sub-par NFL combine performance (4.52 40-yard dash) and inconsistency on the field would make this a very risky pick for the Steelers.
"This is higher than I have Johnson rated, but he’s catching a lot of buzz right now and the Steelershave a need at the position."
Johnson is more likely to be a second-round pick who will come off the board somewhere in the first 50 picks. But at 20 overall? That’s way too rich for me.
