Rams Draft Ty Simpson for the Future

Ty Simpson’s top-13 draft pick stunned fans—including Robert Griffin III—who questioned how the Rams could prioritize him over immediate contention with Matthew Stafford still leading the team. But Griffin now believes the Rams see Simpson as Stafford’s eventual successor, even joking that Stafford’s massive extension was partly a signal the team still trusts him… and maybe even pushed the deal through. Griffin also praised Simpson’s underrated arm talent and accuracy, insisting the Rams aren’t settling for a downgrade from Jared Goff. While the move confused some, Griffin trusts the Rams’ long-term vision—and the consensus is that Simpson’s potential makes this a strategic, future-focused draft.
