Rams' Ty Simpson Pick Sparks NFL Draft Debate

0:00On April 28th, the Los Angeles Rams dropped jaws by grabbing Tai Simpson with their 13th overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft. It's the most talked about selection from Thursday night, splitting fans and analysts right down the middle as a bold move for quarterback depth. This comes as a succession plan behind Matthew Stafford, but many call it a reach for a backup when the Rams just hit the NFC Championship last season. Out of grabbing instant contributors to keep their Super Bowl push alive, they bet long term on Simpson's upside. Dan Orlovsky's been hyping Simpson for months and loves the fit, while Mike Tannenbaum's out here as the ultimate cheerleader even saying he'd throw. Hands over defending the pick. Sean Nick Bay's viral reaction hints it wasn't everyone's favorite in the draft room. ESPN's fueling the fire non-stop, turning this into offseason debate, gold with Tannenbaum cranking up the heat on get up. Crack the back and forth to rage through training camp. At the end of the day, let's pump the brakes.
