Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson is viewed as the second-best prospect in the 2026 NFL draft, following Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Betting odds favor the Cardinals (+125) and Jets (+145) to trade into the late first round to select Simpson, projected to be picked between 25th and 32nd overall. Both teams are expected to move up from their second and third overall picks (33rd and 34th) to secure him, similar to the Giants’ strategy last year. If they don’t, the Rams (+425) are the next likely team to draft him, followed by the Browns (+650) and Steelers (+800).
