Rams stun draft with Ty Simpson

Head coach Sean McVay's reaction to the pick went viral, appearing visibly stunned despite the pick being a calculated move by GM Les Snead.

Simpson will sit behind Stafford for at least a year, a scenario described by former coach Nick Saban as 'perfect' for the young quarterback's development.

The pick sparked immediate debate among experts who questioned if the Rams should have addressed more immediate defensive needs.

Simpson is the sixth consecutive Alabama starter to be taken in the top three rounds.
