Prediction: First Round
Simpson is one of the more intriguing names to monitor leading up to the draft, one who has been recently mocked as a first round pick. The Alabama quarterback is not likely to be a Top 10 pick, but could be the first selected at the position after Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, with the back-half of the first round a likely range.
