The Arizona Cardinals find themselves in a quarterback conundrum this offseason. With questions swirling around Kyler Murray's future and the team's starting QB role, fans are eager to see how the Cardinals will navigate this pivotal moment. Will they look to free agency, or perhaps the draft, to find their solution?
Holding the third overall pick, the Cardinals are unlikely to draft a quarterback given the current talent landscape. However, NFL.com's draft guru Daniel Jeremiah has highlighted Alabama's Ty Simpson as a potential match for Arizona.
Simpson, a standout from Alabama, has caught Jeremiah's attention. "Ty Simpson I think would fit great in there," he mentioned during a recent media call.
"If he ends up going in the first round, then that would take that off the table, but pick 34, that's about right where I have him. If he's available then, I think that would be a really solid pick."
Simpson's stats from his single starting season at Alabama are impressive: a 64.5% completion rate, 3,567 passing yards, 28 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. While he only made 15 career starts, his potential is evident. At 6-2 and 208 pounds, he has a lean build but a promising skill set.
The Cardinals will get an up-close look at Simpson during the NFL Combine in Indianapolis this week, as he's set to showcase his arm in front of scouts and executives. This could be a crucial step in determining if Simpson is the future QB the Cardinals have been searching for.
