Rams Draft Ty Simpson: Future QB or Draft Day Blunder?

0:00On April 24th, the Los Angeles Rams just dropped a big one in the 2026 NFL draft, grabbing Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at the Opia, 13th overall pick. It's a clear play for the future, even though Matthew Stafford's locked in for at least one more year under center. This sets up a smooth handover at the position, giving the team depth while Stafford mentors the young gun. Rams brass, see Simpson as raw talent, ready to mold into something special. Fans hit back with mixed vibes, some straight up salty overpassing on a plug and play option is high, while others are all in, betting on the long game. Social media lit up quick, with X reactions splitting right down the middle between doubters and believers in the Rams vision. As the offseason rolls on, eyes stay glued to how Sean McVeigh carves out Simpson's path, could be the spark that keeps L.A. contending deep.
