Cardinals Eyeing Ty Simpson for QB

0:00On April 5th, the Arizona Cardinals are zeroing in on Alabama quarterback Tys Simpson as a top target for the 2026 NFL draft, especially after Kyla Murray bounced this off-season. With picks at number three in number 34, they're hunting for their next franchise guy, but grabbing Simpson early might mean trading up from. That top spot, free agency didn't deliver many quick fixes for the QB spot, leaving the draft as their best shot. Scouts see Simpson sliding to the 20-32 range, or even day two, because this class lacks depth at the position supply and demand pushing. His stock higher than his raw tape alone. Fans and insiders in the desert are buzzing, wondering if his mobility and quick reads match what new offensive coordinator Michael Flore wants to run. His smart standout. He adjusts protections, pre-snap like a vet, and he can sling it anywhere with real toughness. That said, just 15 career starts raise flags in his play dipped late last season, so the front office has homework to do on his upside.
