Ty Simpson a Better “Marriage” for Raiders Than Fernando Mendoza, Says Dan Orlovsky

The No. 1 pick debate is shifting toward scheme fit, as Orlovsky said Simpson is a “better fit or marriage” for Kubiak’s offense than Fernando Mendoza. Orlovsky noted Kubiak’s system relies heavily on under-center play, adding Mendoza may need “two or three years” to adjust, while Simpson’s pro-style background makes him a more immediate option. Notably, Orlovsky has consistently backed Simpson over Mendoza this year despite heavy scrutiny.
