0:00It's April 24th, from breaking news to Sunday match-ups, this is NFL News Today, powered by AI. Rams fans took a big hit when the team grabbed Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round on Thursday. That pick earned a straight F from the crowd, leaving everyone stunned since the roster already looks stacked around, Matthew Stafford. The Rams still need depth at receiver, offensive tackle, and quarterback, so General Manager Les need could get aggressive and trade up on day two. They do not need future picks in this quarterback heavy draft, now that they have Stafford's air. Fans flipped quick from hating early picks to flunking the whole class, but hold off judging until the full draft shakes out. The team's well-rounded squad gives them room to build smart, without panic moves. They jumped in round two, trading a 20-27 first rounder to the Raiders for Clemson Cornerback Avion Terrell, at the 36th spot. When they added Ole Miss-Y receiver, Dejon Stribling at 61st, a 6 foot 2-speedster with
1:02a 4.3640 who fits there, physical style. Round three brought Iowa interior offensive lineman Logan Jones at 93rd, a reliable depth piece who could start at center down the line. These moves start patching holes and might turn that F into something worth watching as the draft wraps.
