There were plenty of analysts who believed the Rams reached when they selected quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick. The preseason, however, has provided some evidence that Los Angeles may have identified a potential gem. Simpson has shown enough to make the Rams' decision look increasingly defensible. His physical tools, poise and ability to operate within McVay's system have stood out, particularly for a young quarterback making the transition to the NFL.

Simpson's preseason poise and system fit make the 13th pick increasingly defensible.

The source notes that many analysts believed the Rams reached when selecting Simpson with the 13th overall pick in 2026, but preseason performances have provided evidence that Los Angeles may have identified a potential gem. Simpson's physical tools, poise, and ability to operate within Sean McVay's system have stood out, particularly for a young quarterback making the transition to the NFL. The source states it is far too early to declare Simpson a franchise quarterback based on preseason alone, but if he continues developing, the Rams could eventually look back at No. 13 of the 2026 draft as one of the more important picks of the McVay era.
