Daniel Jeremiah · Mar 3, 2026
Jeremiah says Ty Simpson is his 40th-ranked player and a second-round pick rather than a top-32 selection, projects Cleveland to stay with Watson at quarterback in 2026, and offers several draft projections: Notre Dame's Jadarian Price and Arkansas' Mike Washington Jr. on Day 2/third round, tight end Sadiq in the first round, linebacker Styles in the top ten, and the Arizona State tackle possibly sneaking into the 20s.
“He's my fortieth player... he's not going to be inside my top thirty two guys for this draft. I think he's the second round pick.”
