Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter break down all the latest NFL news, beginning with the scuttlebutt over Alabama QB Ty Simpson’s draft status. Is he actually a first-round talent, and would he be a disastrous fit with the Jets, for whom he will work out? They then ponder Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s ADP following his record-setting extension, Ladd McConkey’s bounce-back odds and much more.
