## Resource

The Rams locked in on Ty Simpson before the draft even began, with coach Sean McVay personally telling former player Eric Weddle the day before the draft that Simpson was their first-round QB. Keeping it secret between just McVay, GM, and Weddle, the Rams aimed to prevent other teams—especially the Cardinals, led by an ex-Rams OC—from poaching him. Weddle believes this won’t create tension with Matthew Stafford, as the plan is to let Stafford finish his tenure while Simpson learns from the sidelines, avoiding a costly rebuild. By drafting a cheaper rookie, the Rams are setting up a smooth transition and building a strong foundation around the QB position for years to come—proof McVay was fully on board with the move.
