Ty Simpson Joins the Rams

The selection of Ty Simpson by general manager Les Snead marks only the second time in a decade that the Rams have used a first-round pick.

Simpson, who has deep ties to the organization through his father and Snead, was widely considered the second-best signal-caller in the 2026 class.

While Nick Saban has warned that Simpson may need time to develop, Rams fans are already celebrating the pick as a masterstroke for the team's future.

The move was met with awkward enthusiasm by analyst Dan Orlovsky, who praised the team's bold strategy.
