Back to EpisodesRams Eye Ty Simpson, Risking Draft Mistakes?
Description
The Los Angeles Rams may consider drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with their thirteenth overall pick, but critics caution that this could replicate past draft blunders, such as the Minnesota Vikings selecting J.J. McCarthy tenth two years ago. Simpsons college career was marked by limited passing attempts and a late start, with average stats in his final games. Media outlets have hyped him as underrated, but his limited starts and comparisons to Brock Purdy raise questions. The quarterback class this year is considered weak, with Simpson ranked outside the first round. Drafting him risks another quick benching, as college development slows in the transfer portal era. Teams may be better off waiting or trading for proven backups.
