The Steelers hold six picks in the upcoming draft, including the No. 21, No. 83 and No. 123 selections. The franchise has met with quarterback prospects including Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, Syracuse's Kyle McCord, Louisville's Tyler Shough and Ole Miss' Jaxson Dart ahead of the draft, according to The Athletic's Mike DeFabo.

Aaron Rodgers has been the name most commonly connected to the Steelers' open quarterback job. However, the team should have a backup plan in place.

The only prudent move for the Steelers at this point is to move on from Rodgers and come up with another plan. Whether that is to commit to Mason Rudolph as the starter, draft a quarterback high and make it a competition, call the Atlanta Falcons about trading for Kirk Cousins or something else, the plans should no longer include Rodgers.
