Rams Select Ty Simpson in Stunner

Despite immediate needs elsewhere, the Rams traded up to land Simpson, who is expected to sit behind Stafford for at least one season.

Simpson’s poise and accuracy within the pocket made him a favorite of McVay during the scouting process.

The pick has drawn mixed reactions, with some analysts calling it a 'reach' while others praise the preemptive planning.

Former Alabama coach Nick Saban called the Rams the 'perfect scenario' for Simpson’s professional development.
