Steelers say Aaron Rodgers situation won't affect draft strategy

PITTSBURGH -- With less than two days until the Pittsburgh Steelers are scheduled to be on the clock with the No. 21 NFL draft pick in Green Bay, coach Mike Tomlin remained firm that Aaron Rodgers will not impact the Steelers' draft approach.

"It does not," he said when asked about the Rodgers' situation affecting the team's strategy in a news conference Tuesday.

The outcome of the three-day draft, however, could factor into the team's pursuit of the four-time MVP.

"I think what you do in the draft oftentimes affects maybe some talent acquisition that happens after," Tomlin said.
