## Resource

The Rams stunned the NFL by drafting Ty Simpson 13th overall—despite already having a veteran starter and a proven backup. Critics, including former star TJ Ward, are calling the pick reckless, citing underwhelming college stats and questioning if the team’s scouting is off. Simpson now battles Stetson Bennett for the backup role, and to justify this massive investment, he’ll need to play like an elite NFL quarterback from day one.
