| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:08.7 | Welcome to NFL Daily, where the Rams left us no choice but to start the show with them on draft night. |
| 0:15.9 | I'm Greg Rosenthal. |
| 0:17.3 | I'm in a studio with no name upstairs in the NFL Inglewood offices with my friend Jordan Rodrigue. |
| 0:25.5 | Yes, it is round one recap time. |
| 0:28.9 | We're going to go through all 32 picks, Jordan, including the biggest story, which includes your Los Angeles Rams. |
| 0:36.5 | I apologize for them making us talk about them right off the bat. |
| 0:39.4 | The team that as we speak has has their draft operations and a draft block party right |

| 1:31.1 | roster taking a first round quarterback number 13 overall that literally no one was mocking to them |
| 1:37.7 | at 13 overall. Some people thought the Rams were interested, especially early in the process you |
| 1:42.5 | heard about that. You started to hear a little |
| 1:44.7 | more Ty Simpson first round talk as we got closer to the draft. But let's be real. If a different team |
| 1:53.3 | took Ty Simpson, let's say the Atlanta Falcons, who were supposed to have this pick, took Ty |
