On April 20, NFL draft week is underway, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are still waiting on Aaron Rodgers to decide if he joins the team. This uncertainty hangs over their draft strategy as they prep for picks without knowing their quarterback situation. General Manager Omar Khan says the delay isn't messing with their evaluations. They keep ranking prospects the same way, ready to adapt no matter what Rodgers chooses. Fans and analysts wonder about the backup plans. The team isn't fully on board with Will Howard or Mason Rudolph starting next year. Grabbing a quarterback in the draft makes total sense. Coach Mike McCarthy seems cool with those options for the short term, viewing Rodgers as a potential upgrade rather than a must-have. Pittsburgh appears patient, not rushing the call. With the draft clock ticking, expect clarity soon. But for now, the Steelers roll on, eyes on building depth wherever it leads.
