Alabama QB Ty Simpson is the betting favorite to go first overall

Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson spent three years on the bench before earning the starting job this year. It’s paying off for him. Simpson is having an excellent season for Alabama, completing 65.7 percent of his passes while throwing 20 touchdowns and only one interception.

At DraftKings.com, Simpson’s odds to go first overall are +220. Next is Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza at +290, followed by South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers at +600 and Oregon quarterback Dante Moore at +750.

The first non-quarterback in the draft odds is Miami defensive end Rueben Bain at +800.

Long shots include LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier at +2000, USC quarterback Jayden Maiava at +2500, Miami quarterback Carson Beck at +2500, Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer at +3000 and Texas quarterback Arch Manning at +4000.
 





Here's another guy for 2027. Lamar Jackson 2.0

Kids got some mad skills and a beautiful arm.
 
A Top GM can keep a team at the top of the NFL (just ask Dan the Man).
However, a Top Franchise QB can dominate the NFL (even Belicheat couldn't screw it up.)
A Top Coach can also boost a team, but not like a Top QB & GM (just ask Shoes).

I'm focusing on QBs & wishing for a Top GM (to pick a QB & Coach). QB selection is a crap shoot, so I'm for repeatedly rolling the dice until we hit!! Today we can see how 2024 QB sweepstakes fared ....

For the first time, all six 2024 first-round quarterbacks will play on the same day

In April 2024, six quarterbacks were selected among the first 12 picks in the draft. For the first time, all of them will be playing on the same day. All six started in Week 1 and Week 2, but they didn’t play on the same day.

Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick, will start at Cincinnati.
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, the second overall pick, will start at home against the Seahawks.
Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, 3rd overall pick, hosts Falcons 8th overall pick Michael Penix Jr.
Vikings No. 10 choice J.J. McCarthy visits the Lions
Broncos Bo Nix, taken at No. 12, will visit the Texans.

It remains to be seen which of the six will become franchise quarterbacks, which will become consistent starters, and which will not pan out. Maye is currently playing the best of the bunch. Daniels has had the most success with his team. Penix has been up and down.
 
I’m in favor of skipping QB in the first. Bain is my guy as of now.
 
I like Brendan Sorsby from University of Cincinnati. 6’3” 235 has a strong arm and is very athletic.
 
Multiple teams are looking for new starting quarterbacks: Dolphins, Jets, Steelers, Browns, Raiders, Vikings, and Saints. (Others would love to upgrade to a new QB ... i.e. Cards rumored trying to trade Kyler Murray)

Tankathon has Most of the QB Needy Teams at the Top: 1-2-3 Saints-Titans-Jets ... Miami #4 ... 6-7-8 Browns-Raiders-Cards. What a coincidence!?!?

All the QBs will be drafted, most Over-Drafted!! Hope our new GM picks us a winner!!
 
Mendoza aint it. He's an "old school" QB. If this was 2005, he'd be my guy
Trade down in the 1st, get next year 1, and a 2nd, get Ty Simpson. Take top 2 DL/OL in the 2nd. Top OL next year and EDGE with the 2 1st next year. Rebuild is nearly complete :)

Well yeah, if I have no shot to draft a player there’s no reason get excited about said player. I’ve kind of accepted that Miami won’t draft a QB next year and I’m fine with it. Now I’m assuming most of the top prospects don’t come out.

You seem to be giving up on that a bit to early imo

Remember the titans don’t need a qb. If we’re in the top 3 then there’s a chance
