Riddick stated on "NFL Draft Daily" that the Rams are specifically targeting Simpson due to his skillset and makeup. Simpson is a 6-foot-2, 208-pound pocket passer who threw for over 3,500 yards and 28 touchdowns during his 2025 season.
With two first-round picks at Nos. 13 and 29, the Rams could select Simpson immediately. However, the team might prefer to address immediate roster needs for a Super Bowl run rather than investing in a quarterback for the future.
