I don't know man. I have seen McVay talk up a storm about his draft picks in prior years and this time....

Do you see how many other Rams reporters and national reporters have made the same observation?
I’ll give this board credit. It’s literally the only place you can find Rams fans happy with this pick right now. Reddit, Twitter, everyone else right now is crapping all over the pick.
I don't think Snead would do that. And I don't think it would go down that way if he wanted to do it that way.
They have a MVP winner at QB1. They are a contender. There is no way the GM would take a QB and shove it down the Coach's throat, plus risk infuriating the QB1, all on his own decision making.
Doing this requires an agreement by all involved. It's a significant move to use that resource on the QB instead of another piece. I'm sure the owner agreed to it as well beforehand.
But I am fine disagreeing on this.
But we're "projecting" according to some. Clear as day this wasn't a pick McVay wanted to go out of his way to celebrate publicly - for whatever reason.
I would agree 1000000% that being drafted by the Rams is the best case scenario for Ty Simpson.
Is it the best case for the Rams though? Hell no.
I really think mcvay wants to be fully respectful to Stafford and this still being his team.
I’m sure he’s excited about Simpson for the LT future.

Warner had some very good things to say about Simpson in terms of a fit for the Rams O.
He can make NFL throws and seems to be a good match.
The biggest concern (for Warner anyway) is his size.
Draft chat is fun and makes the offseason more enjoyable.
The Rams have a great knack recently of finding guys that play early.....obviously not the case with Simpson, but, long term, thats a good thing.

Pretty dark first post I’ve seen you drop on ROD.
The Pats did it to Brady and the Packers did it Rodgers. And it pissed both of them off.I don't think Snead would do that. And I don't think it would go down that way if he wanted to do it that way.

I still don't know what we have in Bennett but as a 4th rounder you take a shot.
They have had more than enough time to go over scenario's, the board didn't catch them by surprise and unprepaired
Lot's of ego's and personalities to balance possibly but highly doubt like I said above that anyone was caught off guard.
Yeah, Snead probably didnt want to play the "Goff, Stafford" game anymore of having to give up TWO 1st Round picks every time he needs to find his Franchise Quarterback. He was determined.

Orlovsky is correct that the receivers had a crazy amount of drops; RCW was one of the massive culprits after an outstanding freshman season. He's not correct by saying that Alabama's receivers and O-line were poor; that could not be further from the truth. The guys I mentioned are all talented receivers (who will likely be high draft selections - if not this year, then certainly the next; RCW and Horton have first-round pick potential in 2027. Lotzeir Brooks is undersized, but he's got stupid crazy athleticism, and he was a redshirt freshman this year, so 2028, I could see him as a first round pick, especially if he gets bigger. And some team will likely pop Bernard before us in the second round this year); they just dropped passes as a group.
Supreme narrative building. Just say you hate the pick instead of stupid crap like this. It means nothing.
As soon as someone gives you a list you will move the goal post to keep the narrative. Lamar Jackson is .02 meters taller than Simpson and weighs 205 pounds. People pulled the same tired crap as you with how he was a gimmick….couldn’t throw, too small etc.
The reality is that you know as much as I do about him being good or bad. Making statements about first rounds picks who all have a failure rate near 50% is as valuable as grading the draft the day after.
I am wondering if they were completely far apart on this pick and that they were arguing with each other and that's why they are less ebullient during this draft discussion.

Exactly right. Being right or wrong is not about what team takes who, but rather about who pans out as a player in the NFL. From here we just need Simpson to bust his ass and compete hard and win games when he gets his chance.
