A lot of people are making assumptions about Sean McVay’s “body language” and perceived behavior when the Rams met with the media after drafting Ty Simpson, suggesting that he’s upset about it. Is there any truth to that? We can’t know from our perspective. “Reading” a person’s body language at a press conference is an […]
Come one come all to the day after what was a totally normal NFL Draft night. If you are fan of the Los Angeles Rams nothing to see her other than the Rams taking a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft. But NFL teams do that all the time! Right? There is […]
The Los Angeles Rams’ selection of Ty Simpson flies in the face of the team’s “all in” approach at first glance. But what if taking Simpson opens up new avenues for LA to grow even more aggressive in their roster build? Rookie quarterback contracts remain one of the biggest competitive advantages from a salary cap […]
Is the Los Angeles Rams squad better after Round 1 of the NFL Draft? Yes, it is. They added a desirable quarterback to their roster. With Jimmy Garropollo potentially retiring, the Rams didn’t have a backup quarterback outside of Stetson Bennett. Unless Bennett and the Rams surprise everyone more than they did with the Simpson […]
The Rams left many fans stunned and speechless when they drafted Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick in Thursday’s first round, a quarterback routinely graded as a day two prospect who might only barely sneak into the end of day one. But the most surprising thing about the Rams drafting Simpson is that people […]
Everything fell perfectly into place for the Steelers on Night One of the 2026 NFL Draft. Only two receivers were selected in the top 15 picks, and a slew of offensive linemen followed with a very random Ty Simpson to the Rams pick sprinkled in for good luck. With a league-leading 12 selections ahead of […]

I understand that the initial reaction to the Los Angeles Rams selecting Ty Simpson at 13th overall in the draft is gut wrenching development for a lot of fans. Matthew Stafford is a beloved figure who hoisted the Lombardi Trophy at SoFi Stadium. But nothing good lasts forever. Stafford is in the twilight of his […]
The Miami Dolphins were probably hoping to trade back from 30 in this year's draft, but a surprise pick derailed that plan.
In one of the most surprising moves during the first round of the NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected quarterback Ty Simpson. The Rams, of course, have a knack for stealing headlines and they also lay claim to another blockbuster move from earlier this offseason in their trade for corner Trent McDuffie. There will […]
In a nearly unprecedented situation, the Los Angeles Rams found themselves with a first-round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft and used it to shock the football world. With the No. 13 pick, Sean McVay and company called up Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson to potentially be their heir to Matthew Stafford. Despite being the consensus […]
This was the first left turn of the night, but Matt Stafford isn’t getting younger, and the Rams will need a quarterback after the veteran signal caller does retire. Apparently they hope that can be Ty Simpson. Here’s everything you need to know. Stats and awards What the Rams are getting: Simpson is a top-two […]
With the 13th pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams drafted quarterback Ty Simpson. The move is shocking to almost everybody as there was speculation that Simpson would fall to the second round at worst and would be a late first round pick at best. Instead, the few reports that said that […]
The NFL Draft is on tonight and here is where you can talk about it with fellow Rams fans. The Rams are scheduled to pick 13th overall, projected to be on the clock at 6:44 PM PT, but there are many rumors about Les Snead’s intention to trade up or trade down. Nobody knows what […]
The Atlanta Falcons have zero picks tonight, and seem unlikely to get any without trading away a high-end player. That means we’re free to watch what every other team does, find out what the Rams do with Atlanta’s former first rounder, and figure out who is still going to be available when the Falcons pick […]
Rumors that the Los Angeles Rams are interested in Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson got even hotter on Thursday after Ian Rapoport’s report that one of the people who convinced him to enter the draft was Les Snead. According to Rapoport, Snead told Simpson’s father that Simpson was good enough to be a first round pick […]
Whether or not the Los Angeles Rams could trade up for running back Jeremiyah Love rests entirely in the hands of a division rival. If the Cardinals want Love, then he’s going to be drafted by Arizona at three. And if another team wants to trade up to three for Love, a spot that the […]
The NFL Draft is tonight, and we don’t know exactly what time the Los Angeles Rams will be picking, but if they stick at pick 13, and if every team uses their entire time allotted for each selection, then the Rams would select at 9:44pm ET. Of course, there could be trades, there can be […]
Believe it or not, an Indiana football player has actually been selected with the first overall pick of the NFL Draft before. Richard Corbett “Corby” Davis, an Indiana native and fullback for the Hoosiers, was picked first overall by the Cleveland Rams in 1938. Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner and national champion, can still […]
One of the most interesting questions inside league scouting circles is this, “How many true first-round graded players are there are in this class and who are they?” But in the case for the Rams, with little needs on their depth chart, their first round big board might only be 14 players long. Across league […]
Sean McVay loves his tight ends, the Los Angeles Rams first pick used with McVay at the helm was on a tight end by the name of Gerald Everett. L.A. drafted Terrance Ferguson last year, will McVay be able to pass up on a chance to grab Kenyon Sadiq and add him to their roster? […]
Heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, we know Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead will have a few surprises up his sleeve for the 13th overall selection. Anticipation is high for LA’s earliest pick since 2016. The Rams are going “all in” again and fans are clamoring for an impact player that can contribute […]
Since Sean McVay took the Los Angeles Rams reins in 2017, the defensive side of the ball has employed a 3-4 base (back in the day we called it a 5-2 Okie), three down linemen and two standup edges in front of two linebackers and four in the secondary. L.A. started to move away from […]
The Los Angeles Rams are on the clock 13 picks from now, but the draft still doesn’t start until the Las Vegas Raiders select Fernando Mendoza on Thursday night. After months of speculation of what the Rams should do, and days of rumors about what the Rams will do, what are fans of the team […]
Former Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur will be feeling the Arizona heat more than usual as his Cardinals try to right the ship in the 2026 NFL draft. The Cardinals and LaFleur will be under extreme pressure to nail the draft, or risk falling further behind their NFC West rivals. Arizona finished 3-14 […]
