Kobie Turner is a top-10 interior defensive tackle by all major metrics (pressures, sacks, elite space eater/run defender), and he is absolutely going to get paid by this organization.

I think he has a huge year and finishes the season top-3 in sacks amongst DT’s.

…if Simpson is going to find success in Los Angeles, the path is very similar to how Purdy earned staying power in San Francisco. He must be able to find open receivers on second and third reads. When the defense seems to hold the answers initially, Simpson must be able to dip into his mobility and processing to find creative answers outside of what the scheme presented to him.

These are the traits that McVay is betting on with Simpson. Purdy is a proof of concept. The key distinctions are that (1) Purdy had much more playing experience coming out of Iowa State and Simpson was a one-year starter with injuries diminishing his performance over the second half of the season, and (2) Simpson was a first-round talent while Purdy was on the fringe of getting drafted at all. In some ways Purdy should be Simpson’s floor. This could give the Rams an advantage over a divisional foe whenever Stafford decides to call it a career

…Simpson…draws…comparisons to Purdy in the fact he’s a strong processor and excels more in the mental aspects of the game rather than physical.

30 Minutes of Rams Offensive Highlights (2020-2025)

from Bucky Brooks, Top five tight end groups in the NFL: https://www.nfl.com/news/top-five-tight-end-groups-in-the-nfl-which-teams-are-most-loaded-at-a-hot-position-heading-into-2026

…the Rams’ clever utilization of multiple tight end formations, particularly with three tight ends on the field, seemed to blow the minds of defensive coordinators. The unique personnel grouping poses several problems for defenses due to the “heavy” look. It can force opponents to keep their base defensive personnel on the field against a diverse collection of blockers and playmakers. Additionally, head coach Sean McVay can deploy a few traditional and overload formations that create extra gaps at the line of scrimmage, opening up the running game when defenders do not properly align or fill their assigned gaps at the point of attack. With personnel and formation diversity creating mismatches against lumbering linebackers or undersized defensive backs who struggle to handle the unit’s size, strength or speed, the Rams were able to dictate the terms of the game with their three-TE package.

Rank 1
Los Angeles Rams

The Rams’ collection of tight ends lacks star power, but the group’s diverse skill sets and complementary games make it nearly impossible to defend the 12 and 13 packages Sean McVay features on the call sheet. The offensive wizard shook up the football world with his clever use of multi-tight-end sets, sparking a revolution that has defensive coordinators burning the midnight oil as they craft game plans to stop the Rams’ big-bodied passing game.

Colby Parkinson (6-foot-7, 266 pounds), Tyler Higbee (6-6, 253), Terrance Ferguson (6-5, 252) and Davis Allen (6-6, 253) combined for 103 catches, 1,128 yards, and 17 touchdowns while creating and exploiting mismatches all over the field. Throw in second-round pick Max Klare (6-4, 246) and it’s clear few defenses possess the linebackers and safeties to properly match up with the Rams’ supersized tight ends. With McVay presumably spending the offseason crafting unique play designs from heavy formations, this deep and talented tight end corps will continue to create problems in 2026.
