But the Rams shocked folks by grabbing quarterback Ty Simpson instead, betting big on tomorrow over today. Earlier this week, head coach Sean McVeigh hit Sirius XM with Adam Shine and laid it out straight. He said if drafting lemon or sedic locked in a Super Bowl run, they'd snatch them up no question.
