Reports Point to Cardinals Targeting Alabama QB Ty Simpson

Analysts describe a likely trade into Round 1 to lock in extra contract control.

Overview

  • Draft analyst Todd McShay says the Cardinals "absolutely dig" Ty Simpson and want the Alabama quarterback.
  • Adam Schefter reports the Jets have Simpson on their radar, and he notes the Rams’ early interest cooled after they traded the No. 29 pick for cornerback Trent McDuffie.
  • Joel Klatt projects Arizona trading with the Bills to pick No. 26 to take Simpson and secure a first‑round deal that carries a fifth year of team control.
  • Arizona holds picks No. 3 and No. 33, which makes a move up from the top of Round 2 or a second first‑round selection the clearest paths to land him.
  • Simpson’s case divides scouts because he has one full season as a starter with 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns and five interceptions, and he played through a cracked rib suffered in the Rose Bowl.
