Simpson inactive in Week 1; long-term QB potential could justify trade-down.

Simpson was drafted by the Rams with Atlanta's first-round pick in 2026 (acquired via trade of pick 26). In Week 1, he was inactive. The source notes that the long-term outcome could play out great in LA's favor if Simpson becomes a starting quarterback, and any future with Simpson as a good starting QB is a win for GM Les Snead. However, in the meantime, Simpson's inactivity in Week 1 represents a missed opportunity to address the Rams' linebacker weakness.
