Rams Risk Repeating History: Why Picking Ty Simpson Could Mirror the J.J. McCarthy Blunder
Simpson has thrown 523 passes in college. He didn’t do anything at Alabama until his fourth season in college and then he was handed the keys to one of the most talented and offensive-focused programs in the country. Even then, Simpson was mediocre, especially down the stretch when the games really mattered:
Over the last 7 games, Simpson completed 60% of his passes with 8 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and Alabama went 4-3, plus they were demolished by Georgia and Indiana. Simpson’s offense scored a combined 10 points in those two games.
Even so, there’s a major problem with the NFL Draft that the quarterback-starved producer hounds at ESPN are trying to fill with fluff:
Colleges have been producing a far worse product at quarterback over the last 5 years than any other stretch in recent NFL draft history.
The best quarterback in the 2026 class is Fernando Mendoza, himself a prospect who may actually get a worse overall draft grade than J.J. McCarthy if they had been in the same class, but a foregone conclusion at the #1 pick because the Las Vegas Raiders literally have no other choice. If slapped into a class with Caleb Williams, Daniels, and Drake Maye, Mendoza would be an EASY pick for being no better than QB4.
