Schefter: Rams were targeting Ty Simpson with 29th pick
The Los Angeles Rams were reportedly "eyeing" Ty Simpson before trading away the No. 29 pick.
Going into the offseason, the Los Angeles Rams had two first-round picks at Nos. 13 and 29. However, L.
A. traded its latest first-rounder to the Kansas City Chiefs for cornerback Trent McDuffie. But if the Rams didn't trade away that pick, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the L.
A. was potentially targeting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson at the end of the first round. When the Rams sent the No.
29 pick to the Chiefs in a deal for cornerback Trent McDuffie, it had one unintended consequence that some might not have realized: It hurt the chances that quarteback Ty Simpson would be a first-round pick. League sources say the Rams had been eyeing him, but more so with the No. 29 pick than No.
