rams shock draft world with ty simpson pick at 13 the rams pulled off a real head-scratcher last night, snagging quarterback ty simpson with their 13th overall pick. this move is being called both bold and baffling by pundits around the league. simpson's late-first-round projection means he likely wasn't on many teams' radar for top-20 picks.
what strikes me as odd isn't just the timing but also how it fits into ram's current roster dynamics. they already have matthew stafford, who's still under contract and hasn't shown signs of decline. simpson has to compete with that, plus any potential trade targets or free agent signings in the future.
moreover, simpson's college stats were solid but not elite. his draft stock was climbing late due to strong pre-draft workouts, suggesting teams saw potential more than proven production. this could mean a high learning curve for simpson if he's expected to contribute right away. the rams are known for taking chances and making bold moves (remember the gurriel trade?
), but this one feels like it might be reaching. i'm curious to see how head coach sean mcvay plans to develop simpson in such a competitive environment. what do you all think?
is this a move that could pay off big or are they setting themselves up for another season of quarterback drama?
