"The Rams delivered the biggest shock of the night, sticking at pick No 13 and selecting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson. It was a stunner that seemed to take even their head coach by surprise."
"Sean McVay seemed less than enthusiastic at the Rams' post-pick press conference, and Simpson said in an interview that he's never met McVay."
"Simpson, who started just 15 games in college, hemmed and hawed about whether to enter the draft at all. But a key reason he entered the class was Rams general manager Les Snead telling him he was a first-round pick."
"On Thursday, Snead stuck to his word, reaching for a quarterback tabbed as a fringe first-round prospect."
