Now, Ty Simpson is a Ram.
drafting a family friend ? To compete w Stetson Bennett for the back up spot ?
when they are in win now mode ?
and most likely a reach ?
weirdest pick of the draft by far IMO
if this is true (big if since you cant trust anything before double checking), then its eye opening how deep cronyism/nepotism can run even in a well-ran organization.

Any organization that doesn't have conflict and disagreements is a one man operation.

????????????????????????????????: Matthew Stafford and the Rams are in deep discussions on a contract extension that would extend him for next season and "beyond" for the future, per @RapSheet

The Ty Simpson pick is making less and less sense... pic.twitter.com/rEsM4GFuVp

disagreement is not the same thing as giving preferential treatment to a guy you know rather than merit

Of course you will. Rams can do no wrong.

This was an absolutely horrendous pick. Cut your nose off to spite your face??

The Rams reportedly considered WR Makai Lemon and TE Kenyon Sadiq at No. 13, but found it "difficult to see either rookie providing an immediate impact" given their current depth.
