📝 A Bye Week Question to Chew on... Which Bama player will get drafted higher in their respective draft...

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Ty Simpson in the NFL Draft or Justin Lebron in the MLB Draft?



-OR-

What if the answer is both?

What if the answer is both?

Could be. And it would probably mean good news to "both" of their bank accounts.

A few of the betting markets have Ty as the favorite this week to go #1. I can't think of the kids name; lefty out of LSU. I remember reading something, likely from BA, that projected him as the first pick.

Edit: Ha! Not Barry Allen, Baseball America.

I'm bringing this thread back to life. Someone. Anyone. Make the effort worth it. Hell, flip a coin and go that route if you don't have a good idea.

It's Simpson.

I have no idea but since you really wanted a reply... never watched a whole baseball game

Simpson. LeBron doesn't throw 98 or stacking up power stats to set him a part from the "upside" these scouts want. Not a shot at him, but more of a shot at scouts and how they project rather than truly evaluate.

 

[Justneedme81]

It's close. Both has a chance to go top 3 in draft for football and baseball respectively. It depends how the season goes but it's safe to say both will be first round pick at least.

To answer the question..... I think it'll be Ty Simpson as #1 and Justin #2.

Likely Ty. NFL franchises are always looking for the next "face of the franchise QB". I love Lebron but I don't know if he is the next Derek Jeter. He'll still be a Top 15-20 pick, but like @BamaFan334 said, he doesn't throw 98 off the bump or run a 6.0 sixty or hit 45-50 bombs.

Thank you guys for giving this question the respect it deserved. I'm now satisfied to let it sink into oblivion.

I saw a projection of sixth today. Some people are watching.

The MLB draft has 20 rounds and teams are allowed to draft high school seniors and up. Many of those drafted continue their non professional paths. Therefore I say Simpson would be drafted before LeBron in 2026.

I don't think I have giving my point of view!

Sorry, you missed the window on this one. I may ask a similar question in a couple weeks... what's more likely to be brought back to Tuscaloosa within the next year, the Heisman or the Golden Spikes award?

Heisman unless Lebron gets hot and stays hot. If he has matured at the plate and has some protection around him, watch out!!!

Ty without a doubt. The NFL is a quarterback league. If Ty continues to play well. The Tide continues to roll. Ty goes top 5. Jets need a QB and they are 1-7. The Saints need a QB and they are 1-8. Raiders need a QB and they are 2-6. Justin may a generational talent at SS but just this graphic has him as the 5th best SS available in the draft.

I'm going with Ty as well. Both players have a huge upside but like @UAgrad93 said, the NFL is always looking for the next great thing. Nothing wrong with Justin but I don't see him drafted as high. I do think he will have a longer career.

Ty... but the first player taken in the draft should be Bernard..Best player in the NCAA..
