Rams’ No. 13 Ty Simpson pick was a months-in-the-making gamble

The Los Angeles Rams drafted Alabama QB Ty Simpson with the No. 13 pick, a decision born from months of conviction by GM Les Snead that Simpson fits Sean McVay’s offense and could be the franchise QB behind MVP Matthew Stafford, despite durability/size questions and only 15 college starts; the move was outlined by Pelissero as a prepared, long-running plan that even involved informing Stafford ahead of time, signaling a future-focused bet alongside Friday's ongoing draft activity.
