Les Snead and Sean McVay have drafted well enough in recent years that they should be trusted with any decisions they make. That being said, there have been some questions about their haul in this yearâs draft, most notably with regards to taking Ty Simpson at No. 13.
Dane Brugler of The Athletic didnât love the Ramsâ class, which featured four offensive players and one on defense. He ranked every teamâs draft class from best to worst and the Rams landed at No. 30, ahead of only the Denver Broncos and the last-ranked Jacksonville Jaguars.
Surprisingly, Bruglerâs favorite pick was the Ramsâ first, though he admits he âdidnât love the Simpson pick.â As for a Day 3 pick who could surprise, he only had two to choose from: CJ Daniels or Tim Keenan III. Brugler picked Daniels.
Favorite pick:Â Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama
I didnât love the Simpson pick, especially at No. 13. But of the Ramsâ five selections, he was probably my favorite â there is a very realistic path for him to become a quality NFL starter. We can revisit this in three years âŠ
