Rams stun with Ty Simpson pick
In the most unexpected move of the NFL Draft's first round, the Los Angeles Rams used their first opening-round pick in a decade to secure Ty Simpson.
While Stafford remains the undisputed starter, coach Sean McVay emphasized the importance of having a high-caliber developmental prospect in the building.
The selection drew praise from former Alabama coach Nick Saban, who described the Rams as the 'perfect scenario' for Simpson's professional growth.
However, the pick has sparked debate among fans and analysts about whether the Rams should have used the asset to bolster their immediate championship window.
