He checked in at 6'1" 211 at the Combine. That's perfectly fine for the NFL. How many games did he miss this year?
With a slight frame. And he missed the rest of the Indiana game after the hit by Ponds.

It’s not going to be any easier in the NFL.

I’m certainly not smarter than McSnead. I just thought others would be better for Super Bowl run. But who knows - he may fill in for Stafford - if injured - during the year and be a cog in a SB machine.
Need Stafford to rework his contract and let us get some extensions and get a free agent LB like Matt Milano, Isaiah Simmons or Willie Gay.
2026 NFL Draft isn't just about the 2026 NFL season and most rookies don't make immediate impacts.

The late Gil Brandt use to say something like if you've got a chance to select a QB you love, take him because that opportunity doesn't come around often.
 
Our draft pick was All Pro CB Trent McDuffie and everyone was happy about that.
So the 1st round instant grade gets a "C" grade at worst.
I'm going with a solid B first round grade only because we don't know how good Simpson will be.
We could end up looking at an A+ when you consider McDuffie.
 
Tell me you dont know about Ty Simpson without telling me

The guy many were comparing Simpson to is Brock Purdy. But Purdy was drafted in the last round, and that was for a reason. Let's hope McVay is, in fact, smarter than everybody else. He's earned the benefit of the doubt. Time will tell. The best we can hope for is that this pick will pay off in 3 or maybe 4 years. Won't do much for our final seasons with Stafford, though.
 
Yeah, I agree. I've always said no matter who the Rams pick, I'll give my knee jerk reaction, and root that player on (whether I liked them or not) to be the best Ram ever. Now with that said, he better not suck or this gonna carry on like the Humphrey conversation.
homer!

That's a lot of crying bro. Too bad gifs aren't working I would've handed you a tissue.

I love it! This is the kind of overreaction I was looking for, the rest of you guys are slacking.
I'm not some blind homer who just turns my brain off and roots for sake of rooting. My criticism is aimed at improving the team. I gave you a list of recent failed picks in Days 2 and 3 in the McVay-Snead era so spare me the overreaction BS. They are not infallible. I've noted in other threads that I don't hate Simpson, but I'm certainly not a believer. I hate the squandered opportunity.

Where will you a-holes be when this doesn't work out? Just cheering with your blinders on, I'm guessing. Also, spare me the, "Well, they drafted both Jared Verse and Braden Fiske." Verse literally fell into their laps. Fiske was a teammate and I gave Snead credit for trading up to get his targets.

Right. He missed half a game. That's not what I'd call an extensive injury history. Every player gets nicked up.
