ALTOONA, Pa. -- There are tons of mock drafts nowadays, but still none garner anywhere near as much attention as the original draft guru, Mel Kiper Jr.

Like him or not, when Kiper puts out a new mock draft for ESPN, it creates an enormous amount of buzz. And his first mock draft of the year, out Wednesday, has two very noteworthy predictions of interest in Pittsburgh.

Kiper has the Steelers taking Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr. at No. 17 in the first round, which isn't a big surprise.
