Ty Simpson's Draft Odds Long for No. 2 Pick, Projected Later in Round 1

Alabama QB Ty Simpson has longer odds for the No. 2 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, despite the Jets' potential need for a quarterback. FOX Sports' Greg Auman suggests the Jets might move on from Justin Fields, opening a spot. However, Klatt projects Simpson to be a late first-round pick for Pittsburgh. In 2025, Simpson passed for 3,567 yards and 28 TDs, leading Bama to the CFP before a 38-3 Rose Bowl quarterfinal loss to Indiana.
