Which QB should the Rams draft next year and where?

[PhillyRam]

There's a strong chance that no matter who we start at 13, he won't start in year 1.

A WR would likely get a lot of snaps so we can call him a starter at that spot.

Other than that, where do we have an automatic starter?

OL? Nope.
DL? Nope (I disagree that Miller or Hunter would put Ford on the bench.)
TE? Nope
Secondary? Nope
QB? Nope

If we insist on a year starter, we're limiting ourselves to WR, and I'm certain they don't want to do that.

Well, we could select the best longsnapper in the draft if we want a starter.

It isn't Simpson hate. He is like a girl going out on the town. All her friends she goes with are 9s so she looks like a 7.

 

[Flatlyner]

He would be back on the bench if he stayed another year at Bama.

He'd either be starting for Bama or getting paid a LOT to start for another team.

Tell me you dont follow Alabama football without telling me you dont follow Alabama football....

Save for Arch Manning ill put Simpson up against most wannabe's in next year's Draft.

Including Dante Moore, LaNorris Sellers, Maiava, Nico. Mateer, Sorsby, Whomever else.....

He outplayed all of those QBs according to every expert including the ones who have reservations over his lack of starts and his drop off after he was injured and lost nearly 2 stone

But we have Stafford now. Lets support him now, there is nobody for the Rams with a better chance of winning the SB, now or in the future.
A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
I will be pissed if the Rams use a 1st round pick on a QB.

I agree only we don’t know what Stafford is thinking beyond winning a SB in Sofi. That and we don’t have a viable reserve currently. Snead said so himself, they are not just looking at this year

I don't know if they want any QB this draft, but in answer to the OP's question -- I'd wait until the 3rd round and if Nussmeier or Payton are there, and no player they covet is available, try one.
If they trade back and get a 4th or 5th rounder, maybe the Freak Taylon Green out of Arky, as he has a high ceiling.

I see it as 2 ways, I'd love for them to fully go in and support Staff this year and punt on QB. If they do this, I'd fully expect for them to go ape shit next year and trade 2 1sts + to move up and grab one of the potentially 13 good QB's entering the draft next year. Obviously that number can and will change, but, my point is a LOT of quality QB's are likely in the draft next season and there will not be 10+ NFL teams needing a 1st round QB.

Or, you try and trade back a bit and grab another top 100 pick to draft Simpson. Use those other 3 top 100 picks to fill the holes and develop Simpson this season.

I'll back either choice. I'd be not as happy if they stick and pick Simpson, we have at least 2 holes we must fill in this draft.

That's what they said about this year's class lol

I just don't think doing everything you can to support Stafford now hurts the Rams future. It would still be a a great team for any QB to step into. Passing a chance to get love or a receiver, LB, Edge, or DB that can make a difference is even a bigger mistake if this is Stafford's last year.

Not exactly. They had hoped Manning and Sellers would enter the draft. Both underwhelmed and returned. But there wasn't a rumor of 10+ talented QB's being in the class.
