NFL mock draft 2026 has Ty Simpson as a top-5 pick
Could Alabama QB Ty Simpson go in the top five of the 2026 NFL draft? Here's a 2026 NFL mock draft that thinks so.
It feels like the buzz around Alabama QB Ty Simpson has reached a fever pitch with a month to go before the 2026 NFL Draft. With questions about whether he's a first-round pick or not, there are mock drafts that think so. Our latest mock from Christian D'Andrea doesn't have Simpson in the first round, but some mocks have the Arizona Cardinals trading up into the late picks of the first round for him.
In the latest NFL mock draft from NFL. com's Charles Davis , he goes a step further. He's got the Cardinals using the No.
3 overall pick to take Simpson. Here's his take on why: Last year, I opined in one of my early mocks that Jaxson Dart would go to the Giants with the third overall pick, but I didn't stick with the pairing as the process unfolded. Dart, of course, ultimately ended up with New York after Big Blue traded back into the first round and selected the quarterback at No.
25. This year, I think Simpson ends up with the Cardinals, even if this is not the spot where they pick him. Intriguing!
