It was a mild surprise when the Los Angeles Rams did not select a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. While there was some noise around Jaxon Dart and Jalen Milroe, some thought that the Rams may target a player like Will Howard or Kyle McCord later in the draft.
Instead, the Rams stood pat and set themselves up for 2026. Jimmy Garoppolo proved to be a quality backup behind Matthew Stafford as a player who can operate the system. It made sense that the Rams would want him back. At the same time, Garoppolo doesn’t provide much of a future behind Stafford.
