Rams will draft a 1st round qb in '26, I feel pretty confident in that. Best case scenario, he gets the Mahomes deal, sits behind Stafford for a year. Worst case the rook competes with the bridge starter and plays in '26
Cream is rising. Its not how guys started this season, it's how they finish and how that carries in to combine/pro days
If he comes back, it will be a tough decision to burn a few picks to move up for a bench player in 26'. They will want to maximize his last year. Now, maybe a guy they like falls to them in the mid teens with possibly Atlanta's pick. Then you only burn one pick. However I would think McVay will want his pick of the QB class and thus would probably still have to move up to get that guy.

It will be interesting to see how they attack it.

I dont see the Rams waiting until they need a QB before they make a move to get one. If they were to put together a package of picks to get the top QB on their board, he certainly isnt being drafted as a bench player.
If Stafford is back in '26 I dont think its mutually exclusive for them to draft a 1st round QB and maximize Stafford's year

Yeah, just wondering if they trade a 1st & 2nd or more, for a QB to sit for a year with Stafford starting. Now if Jimmy is starting or another stop gap, then sure, trade whatever you need to in order to get your guy.
 
Simpson can stop playing so well, don't want to have to trade up for him. Still the same list of 5 1st round QB's for me and I'd take any of them but Simpson impresses more every week.

You'd rather a QB sit behind Jimmy or stop gap instead of sitting and learning from Stafford? Thats a wild take

Only issue with Simpson is the body of work. 1 year starters typically dont fare well in the NFL
Poor Allar, his star faded big time and now he's out for the year

I agree which I why I think if we go for him either Stafford or Jimmy G are back next year possibly both.

Fernando Mendoza goes into Eugene & upsets Oregon at home with some big throws & great leadership.

Nah, its not about that. My point on that is not about a QB developing behind a vet QB. It would be about if it's Stafford's last year, do you burn your top three picks on a stud RT, WR, and a CB. Or do you burn two of those picks on a QB that won't play?
 
Not impressed with Sellers. No pocket awareness as he bails immediately, running backwards and either getting sacked or grounding it. He looks to be a few years away at least.

Unfortunately that's not what I saw today. I saw some errant throws and an awful pick-6. And IU looks like a team with great coaching and a strong running game and a strong D. How would Mendoza fare without all that great support around him?

And Dante Moore had a rough outing today.

I haven't watched Simpson yet, I wanna see his tape
 
I guess there’s still time for someone to separate themselves but right now it seems like you could throw a dart at any one of the top 8 guys. Saint’s fans were probably pretty happy about possibly getting Arch and solving their qb problems for a while but now all the preseason picks seem to be flaming out.
