Pelissero notes that Simpson hopes to solidify his status as a first-round pick with his combine performance. Simpson is commonly viewed as the QB2 in this year’s draft behind the routinely mocked first overall pick, Fernando Mendoza. With Mendoza opting not to throw and Simpson throwing at the combine, Simpson hopes to make up some ground.

With several teams desperate for a quarterback upgrade, a great combine showing from Simpson should vault him up the draft board. He is routinely mocked in the back half of the first round. A strong combine could make him a top 15 pick. With that type of draft capital, he would also skyrocket up the Board in dynasty rookie drafts.
