Rams’ Ty Simpson pick being met with praise despite many questions surrounding decision

Every NFL Draft creates some questions for a lot of teams around the league, but those questions are extremely prevalent for the Los Angeles Rams after they decided to select Ty Simpson with the 13th pick. 

Simpson has the tools to be a very good player throughout his NFL career, but we're going to have to wait at least a few years before we see how he looks. 

Until Matthew Stafford decides to hang it up, Simpson will be on the bench learning from one of the best players in the NFL, and that could be a benefit to him.

Many have suggested that this was a nightmare pick for the Rams, a team that needed more talent on both sides of the football to help win a championship, which should be the priority right now. However, CBS doesn't believe that's the case, grading the Rams' selection as an A pick.

“13. Rams: Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama Grade: A

“Simpson showed high-end ability last season before injuries started piling up. He understands how to attack tight windows and play with the anticipation necessary to translate to the NFL. I also think he gets underrated physically as he's got very light feet in the pocket and an NFL-caliber arm. The Rams don't plan on picking this high until Matthew Stafford retires, and now they have their transition plan,” Mike Renner of CBS wrote.

If all goes well for the Rams, similar to what the Green Bay Packers did a few years ago with Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers, I can totally see this working out and being an A.

However, if Simpson isn't that guy and the Rams miss out on their Super Bowl window because of this decision, it'd be tough to justify in a sense.
