Rams Draft Ty Simpson: Stafford's Successor?

0:00On April 24th, the Los Angeles Rams just grabbed Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with their 13th overall pick in the NFL draft. Draft expert Mel Kuiper Jr. broke it down quick, saying the Rams are all in on winning now with Matthew Stafford while eyeing Simpson as the guy too, take over down the line. Simpson's sad is a late first round or early second round prospect, but the Rams they'd put at 13 and pulled the trigger without trading back. They clearly value his upside enough to snag him right there. Fans and analysts are buzzing about Stafford, who Kuiper called one of the all-time greats. At 38 though, he's battled injuries in his deal expires after the 2026 season, so succession planning makes sense. Early bives on Simpson look solid, he's already turning heads with his arm and mobility. The Rams want Stafford mentoring him, prepping for that potential handoff. As the offseason heats up, keep watching how Simpson fits into this Rams squad. Could be the bridge from contender to dynasty.
