I’m just saying lol. Is that so crazy?

If he hopped into the portal you’d have to imagine that AT LEAST Miami LSU Tennessee and Oregon would have significant interest, so he would have more than enough negotiating leverage. If anything, this announcement might give him less leverage since schools with qb needs could start pulling the trigger on other options.

Totally different situation. Ward draft grade wasn’t that high. Simpson could go 1st round

Point of clarification, genuinely asking, when you get a draft grade does it indicate your expected round or your "true" round value? For example, QBs typically get pushed up the boards. Is that considered when getting graded? Also, they don't necessarily give out 32 grades for each round. Here is an article I found:

www.espn.com

NFL draft prospects with a true Round 1 grade: 11 players who are clear first-rounders

We'll see 32 picks in Round 1 on April 23, but which prospects have actually earned a first-round grade? Right now, there are 11 in this 2026 class.

As it stands, Simpson probably (although certainly not 100%) played himself out of a top 3 QB pick.

Moore
Mendoza
Chambliss
Nuss

All ahead of him (in no particular order imo)

But…Chambliss and/or Moore might come back. Little different than Ward situation imo. Probably still goes no worse than 2nd round.

He’ll need a big bag to be convinced to return. This QB class stinks.

Simpson is ahead of chambliss and nuss. There is literally no nfl talk with chambliss. Or at least I haven’t seen or heard it. And nuss is terrible
 
Let’s see if Mario can go 3 for 3.

IMO many on here are underrating how bad of a QB draft class this is.

ESPN was saying how Trinidad could play himself into the 3rd QB in this draft lol
 
The precedent was already there with Sorsrby. If he declared he probably would've been a late 1st and got paid as such by TTU. As others have pointed out our last two QBs both declared for the draft before choosing Miami.

Weak qb class and the raiders, jets, dolphins, Steelers all need QBs. If moore stays he could be the 2nd qb taken

Mendoza and Moore are the two locks.

Would the Dolphins draft a QB (like Simpson) with the #11 pick? Man that's pretty high especially considering Miami is stuck with Tua and they have Ewers who didn't exactly stink up the joint. Also, Miami needs help everywhere: RT (Jackson is FA next year), RG, LG, Edge, S, CB.

I think the Steelers are not in a draft QB mode. I think they will likely fill their QB need via the trade route: Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins.

IDK. It's fun though.

He actually has a good projection unlike the last two. But he hasn’t played much football which should scare gm’s. I with Parcells on wanting qb’s that’s played a lot of snaps in college.

Joel Klatt said yesterday the least experienced QB to win the Super Bowl in the last 25 years is Tom Brady. Experience is everything, 14 starts in college is not enough and is a risk for NFL GM's to take. Him coming back with more starts under his belt would make alot more sense.

I’ll be furious if the Fins waste that pick on Simpson.

Neither of our last two QBs were potentially going in the first round. Zero indication that Simpson is doing anything but proceeding to the NFL.

Rookie scale takes a big drop off in the late teens into the 20’s. There’s a reason Sorsby came back. Betting on yourself and playing yourself into 50 million range versus 20’s. On top of that playing more football and seeing more. This being a weak qb class might make teams avoid reaching , which history should’ve taught them.
