RAMalytics: Keagen Trost exemplifies production over projection

Wait, Sean McVay did meet with Ty Simpson?

The Los Angeles Rams taking of Ty Simpson in the 2026 NFL Draft has been a highly controversial one, and part of the controversy is the narrative that Sean McVay didn’t want to pick Simpson.
