The Los Angeles Rams have selected quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 13 overall pick in the NFL Draft, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The move marks a significant investment for the franchise as they secure a new signal-caller for the future.
Per Pelissero, the Rams' decision to land Simpson was a pick "months in the making," suggesting the organization had targeted the Alabama standout long before the draft began. Simpson joins a Rams offense led by head coach Sean McVay, who has a history of aggressive moves to secure talent at the quarterback position.
Simpson, known for his high-upside traits and collegiate pedigree, was one of the most discussed prospects leading up to the draft. By utilizing the 13th overall selection, the Rams front office has signaled a clear direction for the team's offensive core moving forward. This selection represents a major milestone for the franchise, which has famously traded away high-level draft capital in recent seasons.
