The Arizona Cardinals have scheduled top 30 visits with quarterback prospects Ty Simpson and Carson Beck, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
Rapoport adds Simpson also has top 30 visits with the Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns. He already completed a private workout with the New York Jets.
Beck, meanwhile, has additional pre-draft visits scheduled with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami. He met and had dinner with the Jets ahead of the Hurricanes’ pro day last week, Garafolo adds.
This will mark the second time Simpson has met with the Cardinals this draft cycle after initially sitting down with the team at the NFL Draft Combine. He spoke glowingly of the interaction, telling reporters he would love to be a Cardinal.
“A good dude. You get 18 minutes (in the combine meeting). You need about 18 hours like 18 days in a row,” Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur said at the NFL owners meeting on Monday. “It was a good 18 minutes just getting to know him. It’s very surface level.
“These guys aren’t dummies, either. You throw on five plays and they know the five plays. … But really impressed with him as a person and we’ll see where he goes.”

The chatter around Simpson has only increased in recent weeks, with ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky shouting from the mountain tops that the signal caller is the top QB prospect in the 2026 draft class instead of expected No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza.

Then there are the mock drafts, where ESPN’s Field Yates and Mel Kiper Jr. have Simpson well inside the first round. NFL.com’s Charles Davis took it a step further and linked the quarterback to Arizona’s No. 3 overall pick, albeit with an asterisk.
Not everyone is jumping on the first-round train for Simpson, however, with NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah marrying Simpson to the Jets with the No. 34 overall pick on Day 2.
Simpson is coming off a career year with 3,567 yards and 28 touchdowns to five interceptions on 64.5% throwing.
The big question mark surrounding Simpson centers around his starting experience behind just 15 starts across four seasons at Alabama.
His lone season at the helm was uneven, too, with 20 of Simpson’s scores coming across the first eight games of the year.
The final seven-game stretch, which included a run to the College Football Playoff quarterfinal, was far different with just eight touchdowns to four picks.
Still, Simpson is expected to be the second quarterback off the board. Whether that’s during Day 1 or Day 2 is anyone’s guess.
Beck, on the other hand, has plenty of experience to fall back on after six seasons and three as a starter between Georgia (2023-24) and Miami (2025).
In his lone season at Miami, Beck completed an ACC-leading 72.4% of his throws for 3,813 yards and 30 touchdowns to 12 interceptions as he helped lead the Hurricanes to the national championship game.
He has the pocket presence but putting it all together on a more consistent basis is going to be key for Beck at the next level.
He likely won’t require the type of draft capital it would take to nab Simpson, either.
ESPN analyst Matt Miller’s latest mock draft has the Cardinals picking Beck with a third-round pick at No. 65 overall.
As it stands Tuesday, the Cardinals QBs room is highlighted by expected 2026 starter Jacoby Brissett and new addition Gardner Minshew. Kedon Slovis is also on the roster.
Opting to take a flier with a rookie quarterback this draft isn’t off the table, though. Arizona is desperately in need of a new franchise signal caller following Kyler Murray’s departure this offseason.
And while the 2027 draft class figures to include plenty of top quarterback prospects, having an extra swing at the QB plate a year earlier could be the difference maker.
