Ty Simpson to the Rams

Rams head coach Sean McVay, who appeared visibly miserable during the post-pick press conference, said the team is focusing on its long-term future at the position.

Simpson will spend his rookie year developing within McVay's system, learning behind the veteran Stafford.

Former Alabama coach Nick Saban praised the move, calling it a 'perfect scenario' for Simpson's professional growth.

The pick has sent shockwaves through the draft, as many expected the Rams to prioritize a wide receiver or offensive lineman to support Stafford immediately.
