Mel Kiper projects Lions to take SEC linebacker in first 2025 mock

Pearce earned First-Team All-SEC honors and recorded 7.5 sacks in 2024, contributing to the Lions' pass rush improvement.
The Pittsburgh Steelers aim to strengthen their wide receiver group by selecting Ohio State wide receiver Emeka Egbuka in the first round of the draft.
Egbuka caught over 1,000 yards this season and is recognized as a talented route runner who can enhance the Steelers' offense.
