MAJOR Cardinals Draft Rumors From Adam Schefter & ESPN
Arizona Cardinals rumors before the 2026 NFL Draft are circulating. Adam Schefter from ESPN is saying that several NFL teams’ front offices consider the Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson to be worthy of a first round pick. ESPN NFL analyst Dav Orlovsky also agrees with this, but Mel Kiper disagrees. Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort and head coach Mike LaFleur could be looking at Ty Simpson as a potential Cardinals draft target. The current Cardinals QB room consists of Jacoby Brisset and Gardner Minshew, so it’s certainly possible. Joey O from Cardinals Today by Chat Sports thinks the Cards should look elsewhere, and use a bridge quarterback instead like trading for Anthony Richardson, signing Aaron Rodgers, or Jimmy Garoppolo.

I was against him being a pick but he wants to be here, he doesn't have enough sample size to judge. Could he be good? Who knows? I do know without a great system in place, good coaching, good O-line and weapons then most QBs will struggle, ask a rookie without a lot of experience then its a recipe for disaster.
I don’t think we’ll be the worst team next year, so waiting to try and get top picks then is crazy. They got rid of the problem this year with Drew, along with the rest of the people talking about K1. We shouldn’t be that bad, especially considering half the team was on IR.
I agree let’s build and we will get a QB when we do mean wile lets build we might not even have a chance for this year anyway im ok with brissette i like him and a little down the line will get a QB im sure we will still be very competitive and do good Seattle doesn’t seam to strong anymore the only team that looks like trouble will be the 49ers
D
Sign Taylor Decker, Bosa, and draft Francis or Davis Bailey. If he’s there around 20, trade back in and grab him if he’s that high on their board.
Drafting Simpson? Why?
A BIG NO on Ty Simpson. Joey you are correct on the QB thoughts, Orlosky is a whackado. I would like your thoughts drafting Garrett Nussmeier in the 3rd round
Ty Simpson is not worthy of a first round pick, he's a third day talent. Anyone pushing Simpson as a first round draft choice is a joke.
D. Draft Simpson. Cause even if you have a top 3 pick next year you really think Arch is going to come here? That’s not happening. And imo Moore is no better than Simpson
I get it you want to make content. But cardinals are not bringing in another veteran qb.
i wouldn't sign ty simpson as an undrafted free agent the guy was only mediocre at Alabama schefter is nuts
Anthony Richardson trade
P pass on Simpson, get him later if possible
That's what I'm saying get the best player available: 🫰🏾💯💥
Let Jacoby Brisset be this years starting quarterback! He didn't lose us games and the games we lost were very close!
Looks like we starting brisset
P, HARD PASS
Beck is taller and better completion percentage. Why not draft him?
Carnidals SHOULD draft the next Christian McCaffery – Jeremiah Love…. but… they wont
Pass
P
A great o-line and defense can make an average qb a star.
