\n

The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> traded out of the NFL Draft\u2019s first round on Thursday, so general manager John Lynch didn\u2019t have a player to discuss when he met with reporters. No problem, because he started talking players a couple of division rivals drafted.<\/p>\n

And it was fascinating.<\/p>\n

No. 1 PICK FERNANDO MENDOZA TASKED WITH RETURNING RAIDERS TO GLORY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Lynch commented on what the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> and Los Angeles Rams did. And here\u2019s the kicker:<\/p>\n

Lynch clearly loved the Cardinals selecting running back Jeremiyah Love. But the Rams drafting quarterback Ty Simpson<\/a>? With the No. 13 overall pick, no less?<\/p>\n

Nope, not a fan.<\/p>\n

Lynch was asked directly about the impact Simpson might have for the Rams next season. That was the question. Talk about Simpson’s impact, John. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“Well, first of all,” Lynch began through a Cheshire Cat grin, “I think another team in our division, they got a player who is going to have an impact, and I am talking about Jeremiyah Love — a fantastic player.”<\/p>\n

NFL DRAFT HAS A ‘SPECIAL PLAYER’ GENERAL MANAGERS SAY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

So, the Cardinals and Love get the seal of approval from Lynch. But the Rams picking Simpson, not so much.<\/p>\n

“Ty Simpson is a good football player,” Lynch said, his words contrasting his enthusiasm for Love. “I think there was a lot made as to where he would go<\/a> and what teams would do.<\/p>\n

“It probably surprised everybody, but one thing I’ve learned over the years is that with quarterbacks, people will do those types of things, and they certainly did. So, we’ll see.”<\/p>\n

Lynch just slimed what the Rams did in the most diplomatic way possible.<\/p>\n

He made the point that picking Simpson that high was a surprise to “everybody,” but teams do unorthodox things with quarterbacks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

(The 49ers did an unorthodox thing with their starting quarterback in that they selected Brock Purdy<\/a> with the final pick of the 2022 draft, which seems like a much better value than picking Simpson at No. 13).<\/p>\n

BAKER MAYFIELD OPENS UP ON EX-TEAMMATE SAM DARNOLD, REVITALIZING CAREER, AND KEVIN STEFANSKI JOINING NFC SOUTH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Simpson, by the way, isn\u2019t expected to play much in the coming season because Matthew Stafford<\/a> is the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player and the club\u2019s starter. The only way Simpson is pressed into starting duty is if something goes terribly wrong with Stafford.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s perfect for a rookie that, by all accounts, needs to develop because he\u2019s started only 15 collegiate games<\/a> and comes with good although not necessarily spectacular athletic gifts.<\/p>\n

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

What makes Simpson\u2019s early selection by the Rams curious is that they are in win-now mode. They want to maximize talent around their 38-year-old quarterback before he retires.<\/p>\n

Simpson doesn\u2019t do that. He\u2019s a pick made with eyes on the future. So, the logic of the pick at the lofty spot it was made is questionable.<\/p>\n

As 49ers general manager John Lynch basically just told us.<\/p>\n
