## Resource

The Rams’ surprising 13th-overall pick of Ty Simpson wasn’t a wasted draft night—it was strategic genius. With a stacked offense already featuring Stafford, Nacua, and Adams, a high-upside rookie wouldn’t crack the lineup. Instead, drafting Simpson freed up their future first-round picks, letting them aggressively pursue proven talent like Trent McDuffie and Myles Garrett. This move turned a puzzling pick into a masterstroke, setting up a much stronger roster for the upcoming season. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
