When the Rams chose Simpson, that's when Sean McVay (a Gruden disciple) said that if there had been any prospects who could help the team this year, then L.A. would have drafted him. Since he and Snead didn't feel that was the case, they took a backup (third-string right now) quarterback.

Negative signalRole

Simpson drafted as third-string QB; McVay says he won't help Rams this year.

The Rams drafted Simpson after months of speculation they would select receiver Makai Lemon; Simpson is currently third-string at quarterback; Sean McVay stated that if there had been any prospects who could help the team this year, L.A. would have drafted him, but since he and GM Les Snead didn't feel that was the case, they took a backup quarterback instead; the move could pay dividends in the future but represents a non-immediate contributor.
