Smart Alabama QB Ty Simpson Poised for NFL Growth, Not Instant Stardom

Ty Simpson, Alabama QB from Martin, Tennessee, is viewed as a smart, pro-style passer with strong footwork and pre-/post-snap processing who could develop into an NFL starter. He dealt with injuries and limited college experience in 2023–25, raising concerns about pass rush management and intermediate accuracy, but his football IQ and arm talent give him long-term potential. Comparisons to Brock Purdy highlight his mental toolkit; however, teams should map out a careful development plan rather than expecting 2026 impact, with Rams, Steelers, or Buccaneers eyeing him for the future.

Orlovsky crowns Ty Simpson the top QB in the 2026 NFL Draft

ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky argues Alabama's Ty Simpson is the best quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft, saying he can do more with less and make 'real NFL throws' better than Fernando Mendoza. He suggests Simpson could be a value pick in the 15–20 range rather than Mendoza’s top-pick slot. Mendoza, who starred at Indiana and Cal, has more starting experience and a taller frame. Simpson’s 2025 line: 3,567 yards, 28 TDs, 5 INT; Mendoza had 3,535 yards, 41 TDs and 6 INT across two college stops. Mendoza denied any ulterior motive or agency influence behind the praise.

Dan Orlovsky pitches a bold idea for the Dolphins to draft Alabama QB Ty Simpson despite signing Malik Willis and moving off Tua, arguing the rookie could fit Miami’s offense and timeline; the take has sparked debate, with critics pointing to Willis’ limited pro experience and the roster’s many gaps, and some suggesting a veteran QB instead, underscoring Miami’s aggressive, high-risk approach to overhauling its quarterback room.

McShay Nixes Ty Simpson as Steelers Target, Hints at Carson Beck Link

NFL draft analyst Todd McShay says the Steelers won’t draft Ty Simpson at 21 and has heard them connected to Carson Beck, who met Pittsburgh at the Combine. Beck brings experience from Georgia and Miami but is seen as lacking elite arm strength and athleticism, making him a likely third-round target rather than an immediate starter. The piece notes Steelers also met with Beck, compares him to Simpson, and suggests the QB class is weak, with a cautious stance on pursuing a quarterback early and possibly waiting for a later-round swing or exploring other positions.

Jets eye QB options in 2026, but not at No. 2

The Jets may skip drafting a quarterback at No. 2 in the 2026 NFL Draft, instead planning to build toward a potential franchise QB in 2027 when three first‑round picks could be used to move up; Ty Simpson is the main 2026 wild card, with Drew Allar, Garrett Nussmeier and Carson Beck as later options, and a trade down from 2 or 16 could help the Jets stockpile assets while chasing immediate wins.

Rams weighing blockbuster Crosby trade to pair with Stafford’s heir

The Los Angeles Rams could pursue Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby this offseason to boost their pass rush while also positioning Alabama QB Ty Simpson as Matthew Stafford’s eventual successor. Rams GM Les Snead hinted at trading draft capital for an impact veteran, and with two first‑round picks this year, they’d have ammunition for a bold deal. Crosby’s Raiders future remains uncertain, making a move plausible if the reward is immediate contention and a future QB plan.
