Monroe Freeling's Joyful Draft Call with the Panthers
The Los Angeles Rams surprised fans by selecting quarterback Ty Simpson in the first round of the NFL Draft. This move signals a potential shift from Matthew Stafford to a new era for the team.

In one of the most surprising moves during the first round of the NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected quarterback Ty Simpson. The Rams, of course, have a knack for stealing headlines and they also lay claim to another blockbuster move from earlier this offseason in their trade for corner Trent McDuffie.
There will be plenty of time in the coming days to evaluate what Simpson brings to Los Angeles and how the team will stick the landing from Matthew Stafford to the next era.
What we do know is that the future is closer than most perceived. There will soon be a new sheriff in town.
The NFL community on social media was stunned. Let’s sift through the best reactions from X.
There will be another Ty Simpson next year, and the year after, and then in free agency, then the year after that.
You have a window RIGHT now with your MVP QB.
Crazy to me. This doesn’t help you beat the Super Bowl Champs in your division that has a top defense in the league.

Well, the Rams did not raise their 2026 ceiling with that Ty Simpson pick. I’m sure the 49ers and Seahawks don’t mind that one bit

Sean McVay hand-picked his next QB. I am not one to question it. It was easy to see the Ty Simpson fit in his offense.

At least the Rams didn't trade three firsts and a third for Ty Simpson.

Simpson enters the league with sparkling mechanics and a smooth release; there's a lot of tools to work with and build upon.
Lacking in some elite physical gifts, but as he progresses from talented one-year starter he'll be allowed to develop in peace with a great staff.

It could be seen as good news for the other teams in the NFC West that the Rams' pick at No. 13 overall will do nothing to improve the team in 2026.
