The Los Angeles Rams surprised many by selecting quarterback Ty Simpson in the 2026 NFL Draft instead of a wide receiver. Despite this pick, the team still faces questions about their wide receiver depth behind starters Davante Adams and Puka Nacua.
Key Facts
The Rams picked Ty Simpson, a quarterback from Alabama, with the 13th overall pick in the 2026 draft.
Most experts thought the Rams would draft a wide receiver to replace or support aging player Davante Adams.
ESPN says the biggest need for the Rams is more wide receiver depth beyond Adams and Nacua.
The Rams did not draft any wide receivers until the sixth round, when they picked CJ Daniels.
Other receivers on the team include Xavier Smith, Jordan Whittington, and rookie Konata Mumpfield, but none are standout stars.
Davante Adams had 14 touchdowns last season but recorded his fewest catches and yards since 2015.
The Rams chose tight end Max Klare in the 2026 draft, but that does not solve the wide receiver depth issue.
The team's success may be affected if either Adams or Nacua miss playing time during the 2026 season.
