Rams Eyeing Ty Simpson in 2026 Draft

0:00On April 23rd, the NFC West is straight fire right now, with the Seahawks, Rams, and 49ers locked in an arms race. Draft Buzz has the Rams eyeing Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the 2026 draft, potentially as the heir to Matthew Stafford, whose turning 38 that season and nearing the end of his Hall of Fame run. Stafford's still balling out, but Smart Team's draft quarterbacks before they absolutely need one, just like the Packers did with Jordan Love Wild. Aaron Rogers was still slinging. Simpson could sit, learn from McVey and Stafford, and refine his high upside game without rushing in. Draft experts are all over this match-up, with ESPN's Dan Graziano calling the Rams' interest an open secret. Fans and analysts see it as a bold long-term play in a division where every pick counts double. To Grabs Simpson, LA might burn their 13th overall pick, passing on edge rushers or wide receivers they kind of need. But Draft's build futures, not quick fixes, so this sets them up post Stafford.

1:01Seahawks fans, get ready? The day might come when you're scheming to stop Simpson instead of Stafford, and in this West, that shift could flip the whole script.
