First round pick was used on a QB the team knew would be third string and inactive... They don't have a developing second-year first round talent on the roster because the Rams traded the pick to use a pick on Ty Simpson…a player who doesn't play and won't play any time soon.

Negative signalRole

Simpson drafted first-round but inactive; Rams sacrificed 2025 first-rounder to acquire him.

Rams first-round QB Ty Simpson was drafted as a third-string, inactive player; the source questions the value of using a first-round pick on a QB who won't play soon, noting that the Rams traded out of the 2025 first round to acquire the 2026 pick used on Simpson, meaning they sacrificed a developing second-year talent for an inactive prospect.
