I don't even like Rosen and I'd be fine with this. A third round pick is worth it in case I'm wrong.
The cards might be dumb but they're not stupid. No way they're gonna give us Rosen plus the #1 pick for the 13 and 78 picks.How about a 3rd this year along with the swapping of the first round picks.
I think one option that hasn't been talked about at all is that the Cards take Murray and just say "**** it, let's keep Rosen" if no one wants to give them a 2nd or 1st round pick.
They are about to draft Kyler Murray who the main knock is that he will either get hurt (size) or go play baseball after his first concussion. Rosen with a rookie contract is a pretty decent insurance policy.
Cardinals have just as much incentive to keep him assuming the compensation comes in low.
I actually think this is a likely scenario. Rosen’s value is very low right now, and Kyler Murray is too high an injury risk. Rosen’s value could improve with more game time and he is on his rookie deal. I don’t see much incentive to trade him, especially for a 3rd or lower round pick.
On the flip side of this, if AZ really wants him gone and is drafting KM because they know Rosen can’t cut it, that speaks volumes about the kid and his future in the NFL. I wouldn’t spend any draft capital on him in this scenario.
Myself, I would rather Miami draft a kid than bring in Rosen.
I'd rather we keep our 3rd and use it to draft Will Grier or Jarrett Stidham. I haven't seen anything in Rosen that makes me think he's got more upside than either of those guys. Flame away.
