Daniel Jeremiah#25 of 87 NFL pundits · Feb 5, 2026
Daniel Jeremiah pegged Ty Simpson as a second-round quarterback (his No. 40-42 player), had Keldric Faulk going in the early twenties in his own mock, saw 'Shambless' as a day-two quarterback who could go higher, expected Tua to be moved on from, and named the Titans and Giants as the teams most likely to make a big leap toward the playoffs.
