"You have to assume that since the Steelers waited until the sixth round to select Will Howard that they aren't relying on him to be the starter," Lazenby wrote. "Mason Rudolph also shouldn't be trusted to be the starter, so it's safe to assume Aaron Rodgers will end up being the guy."

Passing on a QB four times before selecting developmental prospect Will Howard in the sixth round suggests the Steelers are still hoping Rodgers ends up in Pittsburgh.

From everything NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport is hearing, Aaron Rodgers is more likely to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers than he’s not. But still, nothing is confirmed and it’s all speculation at this point.
