Rams take Ty Simpson at No. 13

Simpson, heralded as the second-best signal-caller in the 2026 class, will spend his rookie season developing within McVay's sophisticated offensive system.

The move marks only the second time in a decade that the Rams have utilized a first-round pick, highlighting their high level of confidence in Simpson's potential.

Former Alabama coach Nick Saban praised the pick as a 'perfect scenario' for both the player and the franchise.

While Stafford remains the undisputed starter, Simpson's arrival creates a clear succession plan for the Super Bowl contenders.
