Rams offseason graded poorly despite trades for Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie
Summary

The Los Angeles Rams received a C+ offseason grade from ESPN's Seth Walder due to a questionable first-round draft pick. The team traded for Myles Garrett and added Trent McDuffie, bolstering their roster. However, drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 13 pick raised concerns, as it may hinder immediate team needs. Sources highlight that while the Rams' recent trades suggest they are focused on a Super Bowl push, choosing a developmental quarterback over other options has drawn criticism.
