The 2026 NFL Draft, starting Thursday at 8 p.m. ET in Pittsburgh, has the Arizona Cardinals eyeing quarterback Ty Simpson, who is projected to be a first-round pick. With the Cardinals holding the third overall pick and not selecting again until No. 34, they face competition from the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Jets, with the 16th pick, could draft Simpson to avoid the risk of the Cardinals taking him. Meanwhile, the Steelers at pick No. 21 may also consider Simpson, especially with uncertainty surrounding Aaron Rodgers' future. If Simpson is still available past the Steelers' pick, the Cardinals will need to decide how much they are willing to trade to secure him. The outcome will be revealed as early as Thursday night.
