Ryan Anderson and Erin Coscarelli break down a major draft rumor surrounding the Los Angeles Rams — and it all centers on the future behind Matthew Stafford.

The Rumor

ESPN analyst Louis Riddick reports the Rams are high on Alabama QB Ty Simpson, sparking conversation about whether L.A. is finally preparing its succession plan at quarterback.

Why This Matters Now

Stafford is still the guy — but it’s a year-to-year window.

There’s no locked-in long-term answer on the roster.

Contending teams draft and develop QBs before they need them.

The hosts stress: planning ahead at QB is how franchises avoid falling off a cliff.

What the Rams May See in Simpson

A smart processor that can handle a complex offense

Clean mechanics and strong pocket movement

Developmental prospect who could learn behind a veteran

Limited experience (about 15 starts) makes him a projection

That developmental angle could fit perfectly under Sean McVay and Stafford.

The Big Draft Question

Do the Rams:

Spend an early pick on a QB of the future?

Target a middle-round value and develop him quietly?

Or push the decision down the road?

Bottom Line

The Rams are trying to win now while building next — and this draft could define what the post-Stafford era looks like, even if the rookie never takes a snap in 2025.Use promo code RAMSLAFB on Sleeper and get 100% match up to $100! https://Sleeper.com/promo/RAMSLAFB.
