Which NFL Team Will Gamble on Alabama’s Ty Simpson in the 2026 Draft?

New York won’t be able to draft Fernando Mendoza, but they are in a prime spot to select Simpson. They could do it with the second pick or wait until the middle of the first round. Simpson doesn’t project to land in the top-10, giving the Jets the opportunity to double-dip with a top defensive prospect and, potentially, their quarterback of the future.
You don’t have to dig too far into the archives to find a comparison. In fact, you don’t even have to leave MetLife Stadium. The New York Giants followed the same strategy in the 2025 NFL Draft, when they selected Abdul Carter and Jaxson Dart in the first round.
