“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

Or maybe they just didn't feel like answering his texts.

I’ve seen a few for Arizona and one for the Steelers.

The guesses are all over the place though.

I looked at 4 mocks this morning and one had him 3rd overall to Arizona, another late 1st round to Arizona, a Mid to late 1st round pick to the Steelers and the 1st pick of the 2nd round to the Jets.

I don’t think anyone has a clue who will take him or where.

I thought he was a 1st round lock so that was a bit concerning to see a 2nd round pick.

One thing though is Mendoza was #1 overall in every one of them.

So that stuff a few days ago about a bunch of people having Ty rated higher was nonsense.

I hope for his sake he's down in the 1st round far enough for a team that is a good landing spot will take him!

I don't know which team that is, but not the jets or browns!

Of the teams that seemingly have interest I’d hope he goes to the Steelers.

They are the only one that isn’t a dumpster fire organization.

I don’t know if it’s a good fit or not system wise though and they did draft Will Howard the year before I believe.

If you put any stock in what the talking heads of ESPN and NFL Network say about their "sources", supposedly the Steelers are not interested in getting a QB in the first round and will stick with developing Will Howard. Stupid move in my opinion if Simpson is there and they pass on him. But, the Steelers seem to enjoy consistently being "average" every season.

Will be real interesting. It’s quite possible he is the first pick of rd 2. Those of us here all wear crimson colored glasses, and attribute his poor second half of the season to various injuries. But the fact is, TY has only half a season of impressive film worthy of a first round pick for his entire career. For a 23 yr old, 6 nice games in total, could give many GMs reason to doubt he’s worth a first rounder.

To be clear, I am rooting like heck for him to go on the first round. But it’s hardly crazy if he doesn’t.

In fairness to both Ty and Orlovsky, before Ty got hurt he made some throws that if you blurred out the jersey and helmet color and number, you would have sworn it was Aaron Rodgers in his prime. It was one of Rodgers signature throws in his prime when he was rolling out of the pocket to his left and then instantly flipped his hips, squares his shoulders and fires a laser 25-30 yards downfield for a completion. Ty made several of those type of throws early in the season that was just eye popping. Not saying Mendoza can't make those types of throws, I just never saw him do it.

Unfortunately, Simpson's play after the injuries has almost completely overshadowed his play before the injuries in some people's minds. I think whoever can look past the performance during the injuries and remember what he was doing pre-injuries, will be greatly rewarded.

As of now, from my research, it looks like Ty is trending to Arizona.
