Simpson's First-Round Fate Uncertain

0:00On April 20th, Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson sits as the number two signal caller in this draft class for most scouts, minus Dan Arlovsky's take. Indiana's Fernando Mendoza looks locked in as the top pick tonight in Round 1, but then in my dry up for quarterbacks. Simpson's been hovering on that first round bubble with plenty of QB Hungary teams out there, though execs ain't hyped on the overall group. Earlier this week, Simpson built some late momentum toward going in the first, but now he could slide to Friday. The Los Angeles Rams had eyes on him as a Matthew Stafford heir apparent, especially late like their old 29th spot. That bus cooled quick when the Rams shipped the 29th pick to Kansas City for quarterback Trent McDuffy. Sources say they weren't feeling Simpson at their current 13th slot, more likely grabbing a receiver there or trading back instead. League Insiders point to the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals showing the strongest love with New York holding 16th and 33rd picks, Arizona at 34th.

1:00That set up near the end of tonight's Scream's potential drama. If the Cardinals push a trade up before 33 to Snag Simpson, he locks first round status and shakes up the board big time, keeping everyone, glued to the final call. That's the story for today. NFL News Today, Driven by AI.
