The Cardinals need a long-term quarterback, so it is not a huge shock that they would want a look at Simpson. The real intrigue is where the Cardinals might seek to draft him. They hold the No. 3 overall pick, which would appear to be far too high for the team to take Simpson. That could signify that the Cardinals are interested in trading back for more picks.
Just how far back the Cardinals could go is another question. Simpson appears to be entrenching himself as a first-round pick, but it’s less clear how early he might be selected.
Simpson has seemingly trended up throughout the NFL Draft process. The former Alabama quarterback threw for 3,567 yards with 28 touchdowns and five interceptions for the Crimson Tide last season.
