Rams' Simpson Gamble: Wasted Window on Contender?
Description
The Los Angeles Rams, with a win-now roster around MVP Matthew Stafford, drafted Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round, potentially undermining their Super Bowl push. This move mirrors the Green Bay Packers decision to draft Jordan Love while Aaron Rodgers was still elite, which has since hindered their Super Bowl chances. The Rams missed out on impactful receivers like Kenyon Sadiq and Makai Lemon, who were picked by other teams, and may regret not seizing the opportunity to strengthen their attack for Staffords final push. The upcoming quarterback class in 2027 is promising, raising questions about the wisdom of using a premium pick on a backup now.
