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.5 graded calls · Mar 3, 2026

Ty Simpson to be picked “second round pick” (picks 33–64)
“He's my fortieth player. You know, maybe he'll probably move up a couple spots, but he's not going to be inside my top thirty two guys for this draft. I think he's the second round pick.”
