0:00On March 4th, with the 2026 NFL draft approaching, the Los Angeles Rams face a big decision at quarterback. Matthew Stafford is back for another year, but at his age, the team needs to think ahead. Many see them grabbing a quarterback early, maybe in the first two rounds. NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky pushes back hard on that idea. He says the Rams should chase a Super Bowl right now, not worry about the future. They came so close to knocking off the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC championship, just one key player away from victory. Orlovsky points out the Rams need cornerbacks, maybe two, and a fast edge rusher to make that push. Luckily, they hold two first round picks and four total in the top 100, perfect for landing instant impact guys instead of developing a rookie. On the bench, fans and experts are split, but Orlovsky argues if they win another ring, no one will question the plan later. That means passing on Hot Prospect High Simpson, who's now seen as the number two quarterback in his class and is sure first rounder after the combine.

1:04Trap Knight will settle it all, showing if the Rams buy into the win now push, or start building for life after Stafford.
