Neither has the weight of being the immediate starter; both have first-round investment from their current teams, and that combination creates an insulated value that will keep them safe for at least a year. Every quarterback taken in the first round in the past five years gained value, regardless of their actual play. This is big for folks in the back half of the first round, as Ty Simpson often falls past the sixth pick.

Simpson's first-round Rams investment and lack of starter pressure make him a safe dynasty pick.

Simpson is a safe first-round dynasty rookie pick in superflex formats despite often falling past the sixth pick. Like Mendoza, he lacks immediate starter pressure and has first-round NFL investment from the Los Angeles Rams, creating insulated value for at least a year. The source emphasizes that every quarterback taken in the first round in the past five years gained value regardless of actual play. For teams maximizing value and maintaining flexibility—whether as trade bait or as the Rams' starter in 2027 or beyond—Simpson offers reliable floor value despite not being at the top of lists for immediate points.
