Ty Simpson Is the 2026 Draft’s QB2 Wild Card Ty Simpson might be the biggest wild card in the 2026 NFL Draft. Dane Brugler says once Fernando Mendoza is off the board, the QB2 watch really begins. This Short breaks down why Simpson is so hard to place right now and why that uncertainty matters. Dane compares the situation to last year’s late first-round quarterback movement, but says this year’s mock draft exercise is tougher because the landing spots are not clean. He points to the Rams as a team that keeps things quiet, but also notes a top 15 surprise feels unlikely. The bigger takeaway is simple: Simpson could force a late Round 1 move up, or still be there Friday night going into Round 2 and neither outcome would shock people.
