Even with Matthew Stafford returning, the Rams could use a first-round pick to select Simpson as a developmental quarterback. Riddick noted Simpson's skillset and makeup fit what the team is looking for.
Simpson, who had over 3,500 passing yards and 28 touchdowns in his lone season as a starter, could be a 'sit-and-develop' option. The Rams possess two first-round picks and might draft him at No. 13, No. 29, or wait until the second round.
