#Alabama QB Ty Simpson (6-2, 208, rJR)

A contender for QB1 in the 2026 draft. Smart, accurate, and decisive passer that’s continued to climb boards.

Love Ty, but his pocket presence isn’t good. He’s lost a fumble in 5 straight games. Scary shades of Tua in that regard.

His support pales in comparison to Moore and Mendoza though. Alabama's entire success on offense runs through him as there simply is no run game to speak of.

His intermediate game is outstanding, and he goes through his progressions like an NFL starter as well as throwing with anticipation like no other in college right now.

I do think he should go back for one more season and sharpen up his deep game, and get even more comfortable in the pocket with experience.

Ty Simpson does so much of what I want from a franchise QB. He’s the most advanced quarterback in the class at reading defenses pre-snap, identifying pressures, and changing protections. He’s got a real NFL arm — the ball jumps out of his hand, he hits tight-window throws, and he accesses every level of the field. He’s mobile too, able to create off-schedule with touch and velocity.

His one downfall showed up in the FSU and OU games: handling pressure. There are moments where he gets skittish in the pocket, bails from clean pockets, or speeds up his mechanics and misses throws he normally hits. It’s part of his game that still needs refinement.

But the discourse around him this past week calling him a “Day 3 pick” is completely bizarre. Ty Simpson is a first-round quarterback with a legitimate shot to be QB1.

As far as who I’ll crown QB1… I’ll save that for my rankings dropping December 20th.
