Was Sean McVay unhappy about Rams' Ty Simpson draft pick? Fans dissect video

[ASFN Admin]

The Los Angeles Rams' selection of Alabama QB Ty Simpson was a curious one on so many levels (it earned a "D" grade from our experts).

Some felt it was a reach for a quarterback who isn't a top-13 talent. Others wondered why a win-now team would make a win-later move. And then there's the question about whether head coach Sean McVay can work his usual magic on the young Matthew Stafford heir.

On top of all that, a lot of folks on social media looked at McVay's responses in the post-first round press conference. He seemed... non-plussed. Here's a look at some of what he said and the reaction on social media:

I’ve covered a lot of first-round pick pressers across four beats. This was by far the most muted I have seen a regime about the player they drafted. https://t.co/g0W27EjINE
