Steelers Reporter Says Aaron Rodgers’ Decision Won’t Impact NFL Draft Plans

Key Highlights

• If he doesn’t, that will further muddle their plans for 2026 and could cause them to do something they likely had hoped to avoid – bring in another free-agent quarterback.
• But it won’t force the Steelers into taking a quarterback in the first round of the draft out of desperation.”Pittsburgh has 2025 sixth-round pick Will Howard returning in 2026 and met with quarterbacks Carson Beck (Miami), Drew Allar (Penn State) and Ty Simpson (Alabama) during the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis recently. Dulac reported Monday that according to his sources, new head coach Mike McCarthy’s “handling of the interviews was detailed, interrogative and impressive.”“The Steelers have little if no intention of taking a quarterback with their top pick because they think there is only one — Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza — worthy of going in the first round.
• But just because they wouldn’t draft a quarterback in the first round doesn’t mean they wouldn’t take one from among the four picks they have in Day 2.
• However, it’s more than likely it wouldn’t be until the third round,” the longtime Steelers reporter wrote.
• “If Rodgers gives the Steelers his decision this week, that will be the first step toward bringing some clarity to a position that has lacked stability for five years.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMore NFL: Steelers Reportedly Know Aaron Rodgers’ Decision Ahead Of NFL Free AgencyThe post Steelers Reporter Says Aaron Rodgers’ Decision Won’t Impact NFL Draft Plans appeared first on SportsNet Pittsburgh.
