I’m not sold on Simpson at all. But you can make a case for the rams selecting him - whether that’s at 13 or 29.
The top talent is not that crazy high here.
They eventually need a QB.
Next year, sure lots of QBs. But will a guy they like available when they pick.
Getting someone in now, with this staff and learning from stafford is extremely valuable.
If he pans out, you have your QB post Stafford making $5M instead of the 40-70M other teams have to pay their QBs. That’s a huge advantage cap wise and team building around said QB.
If McVay likes him and thinks he can be his starting QB to win in this league, then I’m in. Having extra money (30-65M) to spend on OL, WRs, RBs around him to make him better would be huge. Rather than relying solely on the QB to do everything like mahomes or Allen is forced to do.
