Rams' Bold QB Pick: Ty Simpson

0:00On May 1st, the Los Angeles Rams shook things up in the NFL draft by grabbing quarterback Ty Simpson with a number 13 pick, eyeing him as the long-term heir to Matthew Stafford. Instead of filling a media gaps at quarterback or wide receiver, they went all in on future potential at the most important position. They handled those other needs through free agency, like signing Jalen Watson, who was expected to shine in their scheme by disrupting underneath. Fans enforcing safeties to react late. Fans and analysts are calling this pick fascinating, maybe even a bit illogical, since Simpson only made 15 college starts at Alabama the 4th. Fuest for any first round quarterback in the last 25 years. The Rams love his smarts and how he slings pro-style throes, saying it translates easy from his crimson tide days behind guys like Bryce Young and Jalen Milro. We'll see a banking on Simpson pays off big down the line, or if passing on depth pieces like McCye Lemon bites them this season, either way, the Ramses.
