0:00On April 26, the Rams just wrapped their draft and they've got clear plans for each new guy, sliding them into the depth chart on offense and defense. Analysts are dropping pro comparisons to show what these rookies might become, like quarterback Ty Simpson drawing shades of Mac Jones. That's steady. Pocket passer, who's bounced around from New England to San Francisco, and now Indy.
