In his latest mock draft, Todd McShay from The Ringer has projected Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson to be selected by the Los Angeles Rams at the 13th pick. This prediction has raised eyebrows, as Simpson has only 15 career starts and faced challenges during the second half of the 2025 season. While the Rams have shown interest in quarterbacks in previous drafts, they are currently focused on extending Matthew Stafford's contract, suggesting they may not need a successor immediately. Despite this, McShay believes Simpson could go earlier than expected, indicating that the Rams might have a strategic plan in mind that could involve more than just a simple pick. This prediction stands out as the highest for Simpson in recent mock drafts, prompting speculation about the Rams' intentions as the draft approaches.
