But I do follow the results. Some of the picks this year are bizarre; none more so than the Rams choosing Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick. He's undersized and really unproven; he played just 13 games at Alabama. Drafting someone to watch and learn from future Hall of Famer Matthew Stafford makes some sense, but they have a small window in which to try and get a championship. Getting Stafford some help was what most analysts expected the team to do. Even if they did fall for Simpson, he has a third round grade. They could and should have traded down if they were going to pick Simpson.

Wasting a first round pick is obviously pretty stupid. Wasting a pick in the first half of the first round is malpractice. Sean McVay must be beside himself.
