Rams Draft Simpson, Klare for Future Success

0:00On April 25th, the Los Angeles Rams kicked off the 2026 NFL draft, strong, grabbing Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round, 13th overall, and Ohio State tied in Max Claire in the second round, 61 pick. Simpson stands six feet one, 211 pounds, marking the team's first and round QB since Jared Goff back in 2016. Simpson balled out last season as a fourth year junior, throwing for 3567 yards and 28 touchdowns, guiding the Crimson Tide to an 11-4 record. With Matthew Staff returning 38 and coming off his MVP season, the Rams are planning ahead, especially as favorites for Super Bowl. 61 right here at Sofie Stadium, Simpson gets to learn from Sean McVey while backing up the vet. Claire, six feet four and 246 pounds, transferred from Purdue to the Buckeyes, where he hauled in 43 catches for four. 148 yards and two scores on a 12 and two squad.

1:02Rams fans see these moves bolstering the future depth at Titan behind an aging Tyler Higby and Colby Parkinson, whose deal ends soon. McVey's offense for the long haul.
