In this episode of Money Moves on VSiN, hosts Stormy Bonantoni and Jonathan Von Tobel dive into the aftermath of the 2026 NFL Draft, with particular focus on the Rams' controversial first-round selection of quarterback Ty Simpson at #13 overall. The duo express disbelief at the pick, questioning the lack of direct contact between Simpson and Rams head coach Sean McVay, and highlight concerns about the team’s logic in selecting a quarterback they don’t need immediately, especially given their strong 2025 season. They contrast this with the Jets’ pick of David Bailey at #2, which defied betting market expectations and media consensus, underscoring the unpredictability of draft dynamics. The discussion then shifts to the NBA and NHL playoffs, with critical analysis of the Knicks’ defensive struggles against the Hawks, the Cavaliers’ collapse in Game 3 due to a historic Raptors shooting performance, and the Denver Nuggets’ poor offensive showing against the Timberwolves. The hosts also preview upcoming NHL matchups, including a potential sweep by the Hurricanes and Avalanche, and highlight betting angles around high-scoring games, especially in the Tampa Bay-Montreal series. Throughout, the episode blends sharp analysis, insider insights, and light-hearted banter, while promoting vSIN Pro, the Sharps Invitational, and Just Win Bets Baby for bettors seeking data-driven tools and picks.
The Rams' selection of Ty Simpson at #13 is a controversial reach, driven more by personal connections than on-field evaluation, raising questions about team strategy.
Draft market predictions can be misleading—despite heavy betting on Arbel Reese at #2, David Bailey was selected, highlighting the limitations of prediction markets.
The Raptors' 60.9% three-point shooting in Game 3 exposed Cleveland’s defensive vulnerabilities and led to a blowout, proving that shooting efficiency can override team strength.
Nikola Jokic’s poor performance in the playoffs, combined with injuries and defensive lapses, signals serious concerns for the Nuggets’ title hopes.
Hockey’s high-variance nature means teams can dominate statistically yet still win by narrow margins—Colorado’s 3-0 lead despite low scoring shows their underlying dominance.

NFL Draft Reaction: Ty Simpson & Rams' Controversial Pick
“It's a pick that really doesn't make sense... It's a reach, and it is, for lack of a better term, a wasted pick for a team that was on par from a power rating statistical standpoint to the team that just won the Super Bowl a couple of months ago.”
Draft Market Missteps: Bailey vs. Reese
“The line moves closer to the draft are the ones that are the more accurate ones. And yet here, this was not the case.”
NBA Playoffs: Knicks, Cavs, and Jokic’s Struggles
“Jalen Brunson is a tiny guard who cannot defend anybody, including CJ McCollum, who's eating them up for lunch every single time down the floor. It's incredible.”
NHL Playoffs: High-Scoring Trends & Injury Watch
“The variance of hockey has worked against them, and they're still up three games to none. And they've just got two low-scoring 2-1 games to show for it.”
