Los Angeles Rams

Was it a risk to draft quarterback Ty Simpson at No. 13 instead of a player who could help the Rams win the Super Bowl in 2026?

Rams head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead made it clear this weekend that they don't believe in the idea of being "a player away" from winning a Super Bowl and said they couldn't pass up the chance to draft Matthew Stafford's heir apparent with the 13th pick.

If receivers Puka Nacua and Davante Adams can stay healthy next season, passing on a wide receiver or another pass catcher might not be a huge deal for Los Angeles. If either miss extended time, the Rams might wish they had drafted a player who could help them win right now. -- Sarah Barshop
