Move over Dan Orlovsky, Mike Tannenbaum is here to plant his flag as the biggest cheerleader of the Los Angeles Rams shocking the world and picking Ty Simpson with their first round selection in the NFL Draft.
The Rams picking Simpson at #13 overall was the most polarizing pick in Thursday nightâs first round. While Dan Orlovsky celebrated his vindication after hyping Simpsonâs pro prospects for months, it only seemed fitting that he would become the heir apparent to his close, personal friend Matthew Stafford. While the pick may have been a reach, it gives the Rams a clear succession plan at the position.
However, it also spurned an opportunity to provide Stafford and the Rams with a player who could contribute right away on a team that was in the NFC Championship game just last season. With Stafford at the helm, the Ramsâ Super Bowl window isnât going to last forever. So spending a first rounder on a backup quarterback feels like a luxury choice that could hurt the team in the near-term. And Sean McVayâs viral reaction to the pick has led many to assume that the Ty Simpson choice was far from a unanimous sentiment in the Rams draft room.
Of course, this makes perfect debate fodder for ESPN, who had been driving the Ty Simpson hype train as the draftâs major story. That looks like it will continue throughout much of the offseason with Tannenbaum pouring even more gasoline on the fire with a take so hot that he is willing to get physical over it.
The Rams selected Ty Simpson to establish a succession plan for quarterback Matthew Stafford, despite concerns about the pick being a reach.
The pick was polarizing, with some, like Dan Orlovsky, celebrating it, while others criticized it as a luxury choice that could hurt the team's chances in the near-term.
Ty Simpson's selection indicates the Rams' intention to prepare for life after Matthew Stafford, but it raises questions about immediate team needs.
Sean McVay's reaction to the pick suggested that there may not have been unanimous support for the decision within the Rams' draft room.

âI am ready to fight anybody who says this wasnât one of the greatest decisions weâve seen in recent memory, âTannenbaum said. âYou think about the Green Bay Packers going from Favre to Rodgers, Rodgers to Love, those were decade long positive decisions. And you can ask the Pittsburgh Steelers, guys, how easy it is to replace a franchise quarterback in Ben Roethlisberger. Theyâre not going to be drafting high for the foreseeable future. Theyâre playing chess, a lot of other teams are playing checkers. And by the way, at 38 years old with a bad back, itâs not inconceivable that Ty Simpsonâs on the field during a 17-game season. So this should pay off for a long, long time.â
Letâs just take a breath here. Nobody, and I mean absolutely nobody, needs to be so worked up over Ty Simpson that they need to get involved in fisticuffs. Although weâre all guilty for wanting to see Mike Tannenbaum and Dan Orlovsky to issue an open challenge for a no holds barred tag-team match on the next WWE PLE show, itâs just not that serious. The look on Dan Grazianoâs face when Tannenbaum said that remark was incredible.
Secondly, one of the greatest decisions in recent memory? Weâre talking about things like the Patriots drafting Tom Brady or the Saints signing Drew Brees in free agency. The Chiefs drafted Patrick Mahomes when Alex Smith was firmly entrenched as their starter. Is that the class of player Mike Tannenbaum is ready to put Ty Simpson in on April 28, 2026? Because if so then we should just go ahead and get his gold jacket ready for Canton.
Not everyone in the football world will agree with that hyperbolic sentiment. But just donât tell Mike Tannenbaum about it because otherwise he might come looking for you.
