Rams' drafting strategy raises concerns as Ty Simpson nears start
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams face scrutiny over their risky drafting choices, particularly as quarterback Ty Simpson, drafted in 2026, prepares for a future starting role. The team's shift from high-volume drafting to targeting low-value positions could impact their competitiveness. Less than three years after several draft picks in 2024, a significant portion are no longer with the team. Observers worry this approach may diminish the team's depth and stability before Simpson takes over the franchise quarterback role.
