Aaron Rodgers Situation Won't Affect Steelers Draft Plan
Aaron Rodgers will have any effect on what the Pittsburgh Steelers do in this week's NFL draft, head coach Mike Tomlin said, "It does not." "All options are on the table to acquire those last two [quarterbacks]," general manager Omar Khan said. The Steelers plan on taking four QBs into offseason workouts, but right now they only have Mason Rudolph and Skylar Thompson. Pittsburgh has the No. 21 overall pick in the first round on Thursday night, and it's very possible they'll select a signal-caller in that spot, especially if Colorado's Shedeur Sanders falls all the way down to them. Taking Sanders wouldn't necessarily prevent the Steelers from signing Rodgers to be their starting QB in 2025, though. While signs had been pointing to Rodgers signing with Pittsburgh a while ago, retirement also remains on the table.Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - Gerry Dulac
When asked if the situation surrounding free-agent quarterback Browns, Giants Receiving Calls For No. 2, No. 3 Picks
Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick, but multiple franchises are reportedly interested in moving up for one of the blue-chip prospects, Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, or Ashton Jeanty. Schrager suggests Cleveland and New York are potentially open for business near the top of Thursday's draft, so things could get interesting right away. There has been a lot of uncertainty surrounding the 2025 draft class after presumed No. 1 pick Cam Ward, so this is certainly a situation worth monitoring.Source: ESPN

Falcons Could Take A Tight End On Day 2 Of The Draft
Mason Taylor in third round at pick No. 81. Kyle Pitts, the former fourth overall pick in 2021, is heading into the final year of his rookie contract, and head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot have been clear that 2025 is a critical season for Pitts. Backup Charlie Woerner has just 18 catches in five NFL seasons. Taylor, who is 6-foot-5, 246 pounds, could be the eventual replacement for Pitts if he doesn't figure it out next season. He is Dane Brugler's No. 3 TE and the No. 33 overall prospect in this year's class. In his three seasons with the Tigers, Taylor had 129 catches for 1,308 yards.Source: The Athletic - Josh Kendall

Seahawks Open To Trading Sam Howell
Sam Howell and have received inquiries from teams interested in landing the backup signal-caller, according to sources. The interest comes after Seattle reunited with former backup Drew Lock last week. Sam Darnold is the starter, but the Seahawks also have Jaren Hall as their No. 4 QB. General manager John Schneider said last week that the team is prepared to have Howell and Lock compete for the backup job behind Darnold this summer. Seattle acquired Howell in a trade last March with the Washington Commanders, giving up third- and fifth-round picks in exchange for fourth- and sixth-round picks. The 24-year-old didn't look great at all in relief of Geno Smith in December after he started all 17 games for the Commanders in 2023, throwing 21 touchdowns and a league-high 21 interceptions.Source: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler and Brady Henderson

Shavon Revel Expected Back Around The Start Of Training Camp

East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel (knee) tore his left ACL in September and isn't expected to be back until around the start of training camp at the end of July, which will be more of a problem for some teams than others, according to SI.com's Albert Breer. Revel is highly regarded and likely would have been a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft if he hadn't torn his ACL. Barring any setbacks, the 23-year-old could have a shot at being ready to make his NFL debut in Week 1, but he still will have missed valuable development time this offseason. Despite his injury, the young defensive back is considered one of the best prospects at his position behind Colorado two-way star and Heisman Trophy winner Josh Simmons May Not Be Cleared Until August
Source: SI.com - Albert Breer
Ohio State offensive tackle Josh Simmons (knee), who tore his patellar tendon back in October, might not be medically cleared to play football until August after going through a combine re-check in mid-April, according to SI.com's Albert Breer. It's a tough injury for big men to return from, meaning there's a good chance the 22-year-old isn't ready to go for the start of his rookie season in the NFL this fall. Simmons recently decided to change his mind and not attend the 2025 NFL draft in person, which means he probably isn't going to be taken in the first round after his injury. Simmons' torn patellar tendon ended his final season with the Buckeyes early in 2024, but if not for that injury, the 6-foot-5 lineman might have been in contention to be a top-10 pick. Even though he might not go in the first round, he's still considered a top-three tackle in this year's class.Jihaad Campbell A Candidate To Start On PUP List

Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell (shoulder) had shoulder surgery after the NFL scouting combine in February, and teams are projecting him as a candidate to start his rookie season on the Physically Unable to Perform list in 2025, according to SI.com's Albert Breer. Before his labrum injury, the 21-year-old linebacker was considered a potential top-10 pick in this draft. Campbell's injury is definitely going to cause him to slide down the board in this year's draft, but a team seeking defensive help like the Cincinnati Bengals could find excellent value later on with Campbell. There's a good chance that Campbell will have to miss time early on in his first year in the NFL, but it doesn't mean that he won't have the ability to be a staple in the middle of a team's defense down the road. Even though he's injured, it's possible he'll still be taken in the first round on Thursday.Mykel Williams Still Hampered By Ankle Injury

University of Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams (ankle) had a so-so workout last week for NFL teams and said that he wasn't at his best because of an ankle injury that he suffered last fall, according to SI.com's Albert Breer. The 20-year-old defensive end is largely expected to be a first-round selection in this year's NFL draft on Thursday evening, but ESPN has him projected to be one of their first-round busts. He didn't end up testing at the scouting combine in February, and although he had 5.5 sacks in his junior year with the Bulldogs, Williams had only four sacks in his first two seasons in college. Williams will need to stay healthy to realize his potential at the next level, and some NFL teams may have enough concerns about his ankle injury to stay away from him altogether in the first round.
