Ty Simpson declares for the 2026 NFL draft

[Stout]

Dan Orlovsky likes Simpson over Mendoza. While I don’t completely agree, it’s an interesting take.
Yes it’s a gamble but should the Cardinals take him at #3?

ESPN analyst says Ty Simpson’s tape tops the only QB ranked above him in NFL Draft

Ty Simpson heads into this week's NFL Combine as the consensus No. 2 quarterback in the 2026 draft class. That's a spot that he will be desperately trying to h

I think there’s a big difference between thinking Simpson might be the guy and taking him at 3. I know it hurts if you drop and your target gets grabbed but it causes real damage if he turns out not to be the guy and you missed out on useful players.

When a qb like Simpson is not the 2nd best QB on the board.

Like last year when Jaxon Dart was the 2nd best QB?

Simpson at #3. I lose my mind and hope for the best.

Simpson at #10-12 after a trade down where they pick up an extra 2026 pick + a 2027 premium pick. Ehh -- hope for the best

Simpson at #26 after a trade up. Ok

Simpson at #34. Hurray!.

I would not be a fan and I would cite this type of draft narrative as the stuff people should avoid. Also one reason I think "draft narratives" as a whole are mostly uninformed.

 

[Dan H]

There's been huge backlash against Orlovsky for saying it, though.

Fans think they've uncovered reason Mendoza is trashed by Orlovsky

Fernando Mendoza is s widely expected to be selected by the Raiders with the No. 1 overall pick in next month's NFL Draft. But that view is not shared by Dan Orlovsky.

I like Simpson as a development project but not with the #3 pick.

 

[PDXChris]

The Browns makes zero sense with 3 QBs already and the Dolphin think Willis is the guy.

I agree with Tucker on Allard. He's got the physical tools but just isn't very good at playing QB.
Is there a big game he has played well in?

 

[Redsz]

That top 30 visit definitely adds more smoke to the Cardinals / Ty Simpson fire. Yikes. Not sure how to feel about this.

All the QBs in this class likely do nothing in the league. I think even Mendoza has lower odds of success than any recent #1 pick.

If I was to pick a guy that I think has the skill set to succeed it's Nussmeier. I could see him at the Rams sat behind Stafford and think he goes higher than predicted. But overall it's a high risk class that I'd avoid with anything but a day roll of the dice on a day 3 pick.

Can we stop wishing on Ty Simpson? At this point I'm so sick of Ty Simpson. Rather have Homer Simpson

If they draft him at 3 are you going to reply to the draft thread with “Doh!”

I like Mendoza

Mendoza= bust. Not enough snaps under center for an immobile bq

Kurt Warner gives his impression of the QBs in this draft. Most of his comments about Simpson begin at 10 mintues in.

If you think Simpson can 'be the guy,' why putz around and do trade-downs and trade-ups that will expose him to other teams? The need factor at QB is greater than any other consideration. So, trying to fudge around with 'value' considerations when it comes to QB and the place you take him is a 'pennywise and pound foolish' calculation.

It is not as if the Cards have a stellar record of top draft picks. Also, it is unknown where we are going to be in next year's draft order. Take him at #3 or expose his availability to other QB-needy teams? Just take him with your #3 pick if you think he has a chance---we earned the luxury of being that high in the draft order. We'll probably be there again next year as it is.

Sooo, to summarize: take Simpson because the cards are stupid
the cards are stupid when they draft
and, who cares because the cards will suck no matter what and we'll do it all over again next year.....I'm guessing April Fools is over

Summary -

Kurt likes his ability to process, layering throws, handling pressure and mobility i.e. boot legs in the Shanahan and McVay scheme.

Big questions are experince and time to develop. He needs more time to grow.
