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.
