Over the last 60 years, the Rams have drafted a quarterback in the top 100, ten times.
Beban (1968: #30) Allen
Jaworski (1973: #37) Knox
Weese (1974: #99) Knox
Ferragamo (1977: #91) Knox
Millen (!986: #71) Robinson
Banks (1996: #42) Brooks
Bradford (2010: #1) Spagnuolo
Mannion (2015: #89) Fisher
Goff (2016: #1) Fisher
Simpson (2026: #13) McVay
5 of the 10 were drafted by coaches with defensive backgrounds. Knox took Ferragamo in the 4th. Martz took Fitzpatrick in the 7th round. I like Simpson's chances.
