Rams at crossroads with 13th pick

The Rams, Super Bowl favorites with arguably the NFL's best roster, must consider the future at quarterback position. Stafford, 38, has considered retirement but committed to 2026 when accepting his MVP award. With the Rams not drafting again until No. 61, selecting a QB early like Ty Simpson could provide a seamless transition when Stafford eventually retires.

While Simpson would likely benefit from sitting and learning behind Stafford and coach Sean McVay, the Rams must decide if investing in the future is worth potentially missing out on immediate impact players with their premium draft position.
