Rams, Cardinals Plot for QB Ty Simpson in NFL Draft

0:00On April 22nd, Rams are making waves in NFL Draftock, eyeing Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson as the next big thing after Matthew Stafford. League insiders say it's no secret they love the guy, especially with their 13th overall pick locked in for Thursday's first round. They traded away the 29th pick to the Chiefs for a cornerback, but that doesn't kill their chances. Most feel it's unlikely they grab Simpson right at 13, so expect them to maybe trade down and stock up on more selections while still snagging him later. Stafford just snagged MVP honors and dragged the Rams to the NFC championship, but at 38 years old, the front office knows time's ticking. Drafting a top quarterback prospect now lets him sit and learn from a future Hall of Famer. Meanwhile, the Cardinals and the NFC West are right in the mix too, holding the 34th pick and plenty of ammo to jump back into the first round. Recent mocks from big names have Arizona trading up to around 30th or 30th or just standing pat to get Simpson in round two.

1:03All this buzz shows how teams are plotting long term, balancing today's wins with tomorrow's stars and the drafts about to shake it all out. Perhaps NFL news today brought to you with AI.
