Will compete for backup role
Rams coach Sean McVay said after the Rams drafted Simpson 13th overall Thursday that the rookie quarterback out of Alabama will compete with Stetson Bennett for the backup quarterback role, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Rams drafted Simpson with an eye on the future, but Los Angeles remains focused on winning in the moment with 38-year-old Matthew Stafford locked in as the starting quarterback. Simpson, who made only 15 starts in college, should benefit from sitting behind Stafford, but the rookie first-round pick won't have the second spot on the depth chart handed to him. The Rams likely will use training camp and the preseason to evaluate whether Simpson or the 2023 fourth-round pick Bennett will go into the season as Stafford's top backup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Steelers may be back in mix
The Steelers could consider drafting Simpson if Aaron Rodgers remains unsigned prior to the NFL Draft, Brad Crawford of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Simpson has most often been connected to the Cardinals of late, with most national reporters suggesting the Steelers have minimal interest. However, with Rodgers' status unclear for the 2026 season, the team may change its stance on Simpson. The Alabama product is considered a competent quarterback prospect due to his ability to process quickly, but he lacks elite arm strength and made only 15 collegiate starts.
