Rams Eye Ty Simpson for QB Depth

0:00On April 21st, Jimmy Garoppolo is thinking about hanging up his cleats for good, and that hits the Los Angeles Rans hard at quarterback death. With Matthew Stafford as the starter, Stetson Bennett is their only backup right now, and the free agent options look pretty weak. That means the Rans cannot sleep on the draft anymore. They were planning to grab a late round quarterback maybe, but now they have to get serious about finding real competition or an upgrade for Bennett. Fans and analysts are buzzing because this flips the script fast. Without Garoppolo as a reliable number two, the pressure is on to avoid a disaster if Stafford misses time. Enter Ty Simpson, the former Alabama star projected in the early second round. He balled out his senior year with over 3,500 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just five picks, earning a solid prospect. Great as a future plus starter. Trading up from their second round spot, or maneuvering from the first, could land him as the perfect bridge solid backup. Now, potential air later win.
