While I’m not a fan of the pre-draft gossip that gets churned out, I have to pass it along to you. Buzz around the Steelers selecting North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron is building this evening. Draft analyst Tony Pauline and Ian Rapoport are indicating that the Steelers are expressing interest in the tight end.

While I wouldn’t put too much stock in this, it is interesting. Mike Mayock suggested the plausibility of the Ebron/Steelers match last week. Personally, I don’t think it’s very likely. In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Steelers organization is doing a little fishing through the media, in hopes that if he is available, a team who is desperate for him will be an eager trade partner.

Either way, we’ll know shortly.
