LONG TERM: Raiders’ Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson POISED to Impact NFL Success Stories

from Locked On NFL Draft - Daily Podcast On The NFL Draft, College Football & The NFL · host Locked On Podcast Network

The Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams set up Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson for long-term NFL success. Which young quarterback is primed to shine first, and who could be the late-round steal of the 2026 NFL Draft? Damian Parson and Keith Sanchez break down Mendoza’s advantage learning from Kirk Cousins and Tom Brady, while Simpson’s fit with Sean McVay’s Rams offense raises his ceiling. The hosts assess Carson Beck’s starting potential for the Arizona Cardinals and discuss the race for the first rookie QB start, with Cade Klubnik’s opportunity on the New York Jets drawing intrigue. They also spotlight sleeper picks, like Cole Payton’s fit with the Philadelphia Eagles and Garrett Nussmeier’s outlook behind Patrick Mahomes. Will situational fits or raw talent matter more for this next generation of quarterbacks? This episode offers sharp analysis and bold predictions on the NFL’s evolving quarterback landscape.
