STACKED’s take

Rams drafted Simpson as franchise starter; Bennett's preseason doesn't change that.

The source explains that Les Snead drafted Ty Simpson because the Rams needed a potential franchise starter, knowing it would not be the 28-year-old Bennett with zero career NFL games. Simpson's selection validates that Bennett's preseason performance does not change the fundamental reason the Rams drafted Simpson—Bennett lacks the size, arm strength, and ball placement to be an NFL quarterback and relies too heavily on shotgun and play-action designs meant for rookies like Simpson.
