Yahoo Sports NFL on Ty Simpson
From the article
Sean McVay argued after the draft that the Rams would have drafted someone else if they thought that player could help them win a Super Bowl in 2026. I think Ty Simpson is doing more for McVay's health than any other rookies because at least he's not the bane of his existence on the field like some of these other players would have been.
STACKED’s take
Simpson's long-term investment value beats alternatives like Bain, who would be a liability.
Ty Simpson, drafted 13th overall by the Los Angeles Rams, has not yet been active for an NFL game but the source argues he is providing more value to head coach Sean McVay than alternative draft picks like Rueben Bain, Makai Lemon, or Kenyon Sadiq would be providing in 2026. McVay stated after the draft that if drafting an alternative player would have ensured a Super Bowl appearance at SoFi Stadium in 2026, he would take that player, but none of the alternatives have demonstrated present-day impact. Simpson's value lies in being a long-term investment rather than a liability on the field, which the source frames as preferable to the disappointing production of other rookie alternatives.
