BREAKING Ty Declaring for NFL Draft

[Bamabuzzard]

An update on that…. Senior Steelers insider indicates that under no circumstance will the Steelers draft a quarterback in the top 2 rounds because they don’t see anyone outside of Mendoza as a top 2 worthy quarterback. This is even with the unknown Rodgers decision. They seem content with Will Howard potentially being the guy down the line

And the Steelers wonder why they're stuck in the rut they've been in. They'd be an idiot not to take Simpson and give him a shot. Simpson grades no worse than Jaxson Dart did when he was drafted in the first round. I bet the Steelers wished they had Dart.

This is about as weak a QB draft class as I can remember.

2011 was pretty bad.
Cam Newton
Jake Locker
Christian Ponder
Blaine Gabbert

We actually won't know if this year is weak for a few years. Who knows this could be a year that surprises everyone

The problem and hard part about drafting is pre-draft assessments. Look at Jaxon Dart. He was "projected" to be an early second round pick and it was considered a "reach" for the Giants to draft him where they did in the first round. But now that he's played, was it really a "reach"? Cam Ward, the number one overall pick looks more like a reach right now than Dart.

Which is perfect for Simpson's situation and good karma for not being the six million dollar man in Miami.

or the Jets. Although I have seen some projections that have him going there. The jets have 2 first round picks

“ESPN's Dan Orlovsky said on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday that multiple general managers he spoke to agreed that Alabama's Ty Simpson is the best quarterback in the draft class.


"I probably texted 12 to 15 general managers, decision-making coaches in the NFL, the very simple text of 'Ty Simpson is QB1 in this class, or the best quarterback in this class,' and two people got back to me with a disagreement," Orlovsky said

2 years starting behind our Oline might have cost him his life.

And, then there's that!

I hope he can last to the Rams. Better enviroment and 1 or 2 years behind Stafford on the bench before he retires.

Jets and Cardinals showing a lot of interest.

We shall see.

Going to the Jets would be like going to Cleveland.

Worse. The Jets couldn't make a hybrid of Joe Montana, Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes look good.

Ty is having dinner with some people from the Jets tonight and a private workout tomorrow from what I read today in an article. I'd rather him go somewhere else.

This is easy for me to say since my best athletic days are long behind me, but given the historical ineptitude of Cleveland and NYJ in the NFL, I would hope I wouldn't go those places as a QB. Maybe Ty takes the Sam Darnold route: get drafted by NYJ, perform badly due to how poorly constructed the team is, and get a 2nd life elsewhere. But in the end, as a QB, I wouldn't want to go to Cleveland or NY.

If he could somehow make it to the Rams at 20 something and learn under Stafford with that coaching staff, that would be a dream scenario.
