Rams take Ty Simpson at No. 13

The Los Angeles Rams selected Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick. Simpson, the son of longtime UT Martin head coach Jason Simpson and a 2A state champion at Martin, Tennessee, arrives to the NFL after playing at Alabama. Scouts call Simpson a polished dropback passer and high-IQ technician; his college numbers include a 64.3 percent completion rate, a 1.1 percent interception rate, and a 19.5 percent pass chunk metric. The Rams used a top-15 pick on a developmental successor behind veteran Matthew Stafford, signaling a move toward a potential long-term quarterback answer rather than short-term roster help.
