You’re looking at this deal from only the perspective of the single pick for this year. In reality, the real players passed on due to this trade are Tua and the rest of the QB’s next draft, and possibly Lawrence the following year. The FO has basically decided that Rosen is better than this year’s and next year’s QB class.
I know everyone wants to believe the FO will start him right away (unlikely, as it will likely not happen until the OL can protect), and will re-draft a QB in the next draft, but that is wild speculation with little grounding in common sense. Everyone on this board seems to want to dismiss Rosen’s lack of success in AZ based on the very same deficiencies Miami has going into this season. Why wouldn’t he get at least two full seasons to be evaluated here?
If you believe Rosen is a better QB than anyone else over the next two drafts, you should be excited about this trade. My perspective is that there is better talent at QB that we will be passing up because of this move, making this trade far from positive unless Rosen is amazing, which I just don’t see.
