Simpson Emerges as Top Cardinals Draft Target

0:00It's March 25th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson has become the biggest name buzzing around the Arizona Cardinals for the 2026 NFL Draft. As the number two quarterback prospect in his class, he's drawing serious interest as a potential pick for the rebuilding team. Alabama's pro day takes place this Wednesday, which will likely fuel even more talk about Simpson in his skills. Analysts at SI.com recently listed the Cardinals as one of the top landing spots for him, given their projected number three overall pick and need. For a long-term answer at quarterback, the Cardinals currently rely on Jacobi Berset and Gardner Menshu, a setup that doesn't inspire confidence for the future. New head coach, Michael LaFloor, known for his strong offensive schemes from his time with Sean McVay, could push to bring in his own quarterback. That raises questions about trading down from number three, or bundling second, and third round picks to jump back into the late first round for.
