Ty Simpson Shrugs Off Criticism After Rams Draft Him No. 13

Ty Simpson said he "didn't really care" about the backlash after the Rams used the No. 13 pick on a quarterback despite already having reigning MVP Matthew Stafford.
Doubts centered on Los Angeles passing over a more immediate contributor for a roster viewed as still capable of another Super Bowl push with Stafford.
Draft analysts were harsh on the decision — Yahoo Sports' Nate Tice gave the pick a D+ — but Simpson said his job is simply to justify the Rams' faith.
Simpson framed the landing spot as an advantage, citing the chance to learn from Stafford, coach Sean McVay and star receivers Davante Adams and Puka Nacua.
That setup could let him develop patiently behind Stafford, following a path the Rams hope resembles quarterbacks who benefited from sitting early in their careers.
