The Los Angeles Rams picked Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson 13th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, a surprising choice for a team with a veteran MVP quarterback. The Rams believed the Arizona Cardinals, an NFC West rival, were very interested in Simpson and wanted to secure him rather than risk facing him twice a year.
