Patriots Trade Down, Cardinals Grab Ty Simpson

0:00It's April 23rd, you're listening to NFL News Today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Cory with the story. The New England Patriots hold a 31st overall pick in the NFL draft, and is shaping up to be one of the hottest spots left on Thursday. Night. Teams desperate for a quarterback like Ty Simpson could come calling, especially since he's projected as the second signal caller off the board after. Fernando Mendoza. His figure Simpson slides past most first round spots, but quarterback Nidi Squads might trade up late to grab him and lock in that fifth year. Option. The Arizona Cardinals stand out here. They've got the third pick but won't use it on him, and their 34th spot puts them right in play to move. CBS Sports analyst Ryan Wilson is calling it, Patriots trade down from 31 to the Cardinals who snag Simpson. He's hearing from teams that New England wants to deal, and Arizona fits perfect to jump ahead of rivals like the Jets and Browns. That trade makes sense for both sides.

1:01Paths drop just three spots, but pick up extra value while Cardinals secure their guy before the Jets at pick. Before 34. No big surprises expected if Simpson's still on the board. Keep eyes on pick 31 tonight. This could shake up the drafts in game and give New England smart ammo for day two.
