Summary
The Los Angeles Rams selected quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, aiming to groom him as Matthew Staffords successor. However, Simpson is likely to spend most of his rookie season on the bench, with projections suggesting hell only manage 146 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, and 5 rushing yards. In contrast, the Raiders first-round QB pick, Fernando Mendoza, is expected to have a much more significant impact, with 3,666 passing yards, 15 TDs, 10 INTs, and 229 rushing yards. This stark difference has sparked debate about whether the Rams reached too high at 13, given Simpsons limited role. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
