Ty Simpson

The Los Angeles Rams have selected QB Ty Simpson with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft.

Fantasy Impact

There was talk pre-draft that a team would likely trade back into the first round to take the former Alabama QB. The Rams reportedly let QB Matthew Stafford know that they were going to take Simpson and that the plan is for Simpson to take over when Stafford chooses to retire. There are questions about his arm velocity that will need to be worked out, but if there is any head coach that can develop the young quarterback, it is likely head coach Sean McVay.

Alabama QB Ty Simpson continues to be linked to the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cardinals could use their No. 34 overall pick to trade back into round one to select Simpson. This will remain a situation to monitor heading into the NFL Draft next week.

Ty Simpson is scheduled to meet with the Cardinals, Dolphins and Browns to go along with a private workout with the Jets.

Simpson was the full-time starter for the first time last season at Alabama after four years with the program. He is a likely first-round pick in the NFL Draft.
