Mel Kiper Explains Why Ty Simpson Will Go Round 1 to the Jets

Mel Kiper projects Ty Simpson as a first-round (16 overall) Jets pick despite concerns around his consistency. “Bottom line is, yes, only 15 starts... that’s dangerous,” Kiper said, adding Simpson “could have been top five” if not for his "stretch with five fumbles over a seven-game period.” Simpson still threw for 3,567 yards, 28 TDs, five picks at Alabama during the 2025 season.
