The Los Angeles Rams select quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 13 overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, a choice that several observers say surprised expectations for the team. Both outlets referenced the widely held projection that the Rams would use their first-round selection on a position other than quarterback—such as a wide receiver or an offensive lineman—to support MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford. Yahoo Sports and the New York Post report that the pick is drawing scrutiny from former NFL personnel, with criticism focused on the team’s decision to prioritize Simpson at that draft slot. The New York Post frames the reaction as a sharp rebuke from a former NFL general manager regarding Simpson’s future, while Yahoo Sports summarizes the broader surprise around the selection itself. The reports present the central points of disagreement primarily as coverage of the criticism and implications, rather than on the factual details of the draft choice: the Rams make Simpson their top-13 selection and the selection is widely viewed as unexpected given the Rams’ existing quarterback situation.
