Is former Alabama football quarterback Ty Simpson worthy of first-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft?
At least one college football analyst believes so. On Monday, Fox Sports' Joel Klatt unveiled his final mock draft ahead of the NFL Draft and made a bold prediction for Simpson.
Klatt, the lead commentator on Fox's "Big Noon Saturday" games and an analyst for NFL Network's upcoming draft coverage, sees a team trading back into the first round to grab Simpson.
That team is the Arizona Cardinals, who Klatt believes will select Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick and then work a trade with the Buffalo Bills to nab Simpson at No. 26.
"The Bills don't have a second-round pick, and someone is going to be itching to get back into the first round to get Ty Simpson. I think this pick is tailor-made to get traded. The Cardinals have the opportunity to not only get Simpson, but also get him on a first-round rookie contract, meaning they would have an extra year of team control." --Joel Klatt, Fox Sports.
Klatt admits that Simpson is "a bit polarizing." In his lone season as Alabama's starter, Simpson threw for 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns to five interceptions. The Crimson Tide finished 11-4 overall and 10-2 in the regular season.
