Rams Draft Ty Simpson, Future QB Star

0:00On April 24th, the Los Angeles Rams dropped jaws across the league by snagging Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with a 13th pick in the two. 1026 NFL Draft GM Lest Sneed locked in on this kid as their future star, brushing off all the outside noise. Sneed made it clear they're not banking on one draft pick to fast track a Super Bowl run. It's about the grind ahead. Simpson slides right in behind Matthew Stafford, who's still the undisputed leader on this squad. Fans were buzzing for an instant impact player to boost their contending roster, but Stafford's fresh off that monster MVP season in 2000. 25. At 38 come February though, the Rams know they need succession locked down. They're moving past Jimmy Garoppolo, who's mulling retirement and sliding Simpson as the primary backup for next year. Smart pivot to keep the depth chart solid. This setup's gold for Simpson, marinating behind an elite vet like Stafford, while picking Sean McVey's brain on offense.
