Welcome to the final mailbag ahead of NFL free agency. And thank you all for the kind words about the new title, it\u2019s much appreciated. With the new league year beginning in a matter of days, and the draft next month, let\u2019s dive into your questions.<\/p>\n
Q: Congrats on the promotion<\/p>\n
In terms of teams needing a QB. It looks to me that the Rams might be going all in this season with the trade for McDuffie using one of two 1st round picks. I think that rules out the Rams with Ty Simpson. I\u2019m not sure where you have Simpson ranked but I have him ranked around 35ish. With the following teams that need a QB where is the earliest you see Simpson being selected. <\/p>\n
ARZ at 3
NYJ at 4
CLE at 6
MIA at 11
LAR at 13
NYJ at 16
MIN at 18
PIT at 21
CLE at 24
NYJ at 33
ARZ at 34
CLE at 39
MIA at 43 <\/p>\n
I added the early second round picks also because anything can happen – Pittsblitz56<\/p>\n
A: Thank you, I appreciate it. Anything can happen. We\u2019re seeing mocks put him anywhere from the middle of the first round through early second round. There\u2019s a Mitch Trubisky factor with Simpson, as 2025 was his only year as a full-time starter. Considering he began as a projected first-round pick, I\u2019d be shocked if he doesn\u2019t go in the first round. Cleveland at No. 24 could be the sweet spot.<\/p>\n
Q: Congrats JB. With the Steelers reportedly having over $50 million in cap space, do you think that Khan and company will make any \u201csplash signings\u201d next week? If so, what position(s) do you see them targeting? – NHSteelersFan<\/p>\n
A: I\u2019d expect at least one splash move. Whether that be a trade or a signing, particularly at wide receiver. Romeo Doubs, Michael Pittman would be names I\u2019d watch. Safety is also a must. Jalen Thompson, Bryan Cook, and Jaquan Brisker would be the names I keep an eye on at that position.<\/p>\n
Q: Were there any good chicken wing places in Indy? – 4Cups4Geno<\/p>\n
A: Actually didn\u2019t get around to any wings. But The Eagle in Indy is a very good chicken spot.<\/p>\n
