BREAKING: Rams Pick Stafford’s Replacement

Publication by EssentiallySports | April 23, 2026 | Edition #380 |
Hey Folks,
Today’s NFL Draft lived up to its reputation, pure chaos from start to finish. And as expected, unpredictability ruled the night.
Heading into Day 1, GM Les Snead and coach Sean McVay made their priorities crystal clear. And when the moment arrived, the Los Angeles Rams didn’t hesitate, taking a decisive swing on a potential franchise quarterback they believe can step in once Matthew Stafford eventually hangs up his cleats.

GM Snead didn’t hesitate going all in on a QB with the No. 13 pick on Day 1 of the NFL Draft.


Is Ty Simpson the long-term replacement for Matthew Stafford? |

On just the first night of 2026 NFL Draft, 320,000 fans flooded the area around Acrisure Stadium and Point State Park, setting a new all-time high for Round 1 attendance. They shattered it by nearly 16%, surpassing the previous Round 1 record of 275,000 set by Detroit in 2024.
