College PFF grades for Ty Simpson and every Rams draft pick in 2026
The Los Angeles Rams added five drafted rookies to their roster last weekend, focusing mostly on the offense despite finishing the 2025 season ranked first in the NFL. The players they drafted had varying levels of success in college, from a one-year starting QB at Alabama to an All-American offensive lineman.
Pro Football Focus grades every snap for players in college and assigns them a grade, just as it does in the NFL. Here's a look at each Rams draftee's college PFF grade from last season, with a few notes on their numbers, as well.
QB Ty Simpson, Alabama
2025 PFF grade: 83.1 (60th QB)
Simpson struggled badly in the second half of last season, which caused him to drop from being ranked 32nd in the regular season to 60th when including the playoffs. His passing grade of 81.4 was 43rd among all quarterbacks, with his best game coming against Wisconsin, where he had a 94.4 overall grade.
TE Max Klare, Ohio State
2025 PFF grade: 69.3 (43rd TE)
Klare did most of his best work as a receiver for Ohio State, earning a 66.5 receiving grade and a 78.9 drop grade with just two drops all year. He could become a reliable weapon for Matthew Stafford in the next few years.
OT Keagen Trost, Missouri
2025 PFF grade: 92.0 (1st OT)
Trost was outstanding for the Tigers last season, earning the highest overall grade of any FBS offensive tackle. He had an 85.4 pass-blocking grade and 91.4 run-blocking score, allowing just one sack.
