From Unknown to Unstoppable: Why Alabama QB Ty Simpson is This Year’s NFL Draft Enigma
“That’s what a draft like this — when you don’t have two or three [elite] quarterbacks and a Will Anderson or Myles Garret — does,” Veach said. “It lends itself to open up to a lot of fun and movement.”
It also makes it hard to pin down a player like Simpson, whose uneven game tape and lack of college starts make him such a sizable risk. And while so many evaluators have been squaring him away as a late first-round trade-up target — or suggesting a definite floor of a second-round pick — it’s worth remembering that this time last year, a litany of executives were certain someone would take Shedeur Sanders several rounds higher than the fifth round that he landed in.
