The Los Angeles Rams made the controversial decision to draft Ty Simpson in the first round of the NFL Draft, shocking the entire league with their pick at No.
13 overall. Instead of a wide receiver like Makai Lemon, who would've been a fun fit in Los Angeles, they went with the backup developmental QB out of Alabama. However, despite the backlash, as ESPN's Matt Bowen highlighted, Simpson to the Rams is actually a great fit.
