There are several names on that list that McVay might be able to work with but then again, a lot can change in one year and some new names might be added to that list.
This is the list of current NFL Qbs who are not signed past the 2027 season. I'm not sure how anyone else could be added to that list. Anyone who is currently under contract for the 2028 season will still be under contract 2 years from now ... unless they get cut.

I would try Jones, Trubislky, Cousins over a rookie.
The thing is, Simpson won't be a rookie in 2028 - he'll be entering his 3rd season after spending two years as Stafford's apprentice, learning the Rams playbook, and being coached by what appears to be a staff assembled specifically to develop a QB.
Personally I'll take the 2028 version of Simpson over anyone on that list. However, it's entirely possible that Simpson craps out and demonstrates that he is not the guy the Rams thought he was. What then?!? Well, the Rams could sign Jones, Trubisky, Cousins, or whoever they like out of the 2028 FA QB class ... just like they would if they didn't draft Simpson.
Taking Simpson is a minimal risk shot at getting a franchise QB on the cheap. And if it doesn't work out they can follow the exact same path they would have if they didn't draft him.
