Rams Eye Ty Simpson at QB Draft

0:00On April 20th, the Los Angeles Rams are back in the quarterback draft buzz, as Matthew Stafford hits 38 years old. With the veteran still bawling out after an MVP-level season, the teams eyeing his successor at the 13th overall pick. Draft Guru Todd McShay says they could snag Alabama's Thai Simpson there, especially since their receiver room is stacked with Puka, Nakua, and Devante, Adams. That depth that wide-out means the Rams don't got a rush for more there. They can grab one later in round two. Stafford's locked in as starter for 2026, but the clock's ticking, and this draft class fits perfect for luxury QB grab without burning. Other needs. Fans and analysts are split on it. McShay points out how other teams secretly root for QB runs early, pushing talents like Simpson down the board. It's a wild car move that could shake up the league, but Simpson's just one full-starting season raises flags. As with that profile often flop hard, still, the Rams set up behind Stafford's screens

Jim ever even says Simpson matches Sean McVey's QB mold. Word is the Arizona Cardinals like Simpson too, and might trade back in late day one. If the Rams want their future locked, number 13 could be the spots of pounce before someone jumps ahead.
