The Rams' selection of quarterback Tai Simpson at pick 19, especially with Matthew Stafford still performing at a high level, is a questionable move for the future. While the team believes Simpson has a similar football mind to Sean McVay and potential to develop, the immediate need for defensive talent like Reuben Reade or Makai Lemon was overlooked, potentially costing them a Super Bowl run.
Impact: High. This pick raises immediate questions about the Rams' Super Bowl aspirations this season. If they falter, the decision to prioritize a future QB over immediate defensive impact will be heavily scrutinized.
