I don't know what to do with Rosen. Every one has been killing his background/intangibles if given the opportunity, and then there is the shoulder issue that was reportedly bothering him all season before shutting him down.
I did Texas A&M and BYU, and then looked at a few clips in 2015. He definitely threw with more velocity in 2015.
I think his accuracy is solid, but I struggled with his mental processing/decision making and overall poise. He seemed to make some poor decisions when extending.
I recognize the upside, but I don't see him anywhere near Darnold/Rosen. He's closer to Trubisky and Watson for me. Put a 3rd round grade on him, acknowledging that may rise in the fall.
Slimm/CK, what do you think of him?
Rosen is easy to like if you're a little old school like me, and already have an affinity for certain types of QB's geared more towards prototypical pocket passers.
He looks like the kind of quarterback you want to draft. Rosen is smooth, and you like his passing profile within the pocket. He has the ability to be a starting caliber quarterback at the next level. I thought he was a little over hyped as a freshman, and he requires certain improvements the same as all QB's coming out of college. However, the questions Rosen will need to answer pertain more to off field than on field.
I've obviously never met the kid or talked to him, but the main concerns about Rosen seem to revolve around leadership, desire, and how much he really loves football.
If you're not sold on those three aspects of his character and don't feel like he's coachable, the rest doesn't matter.
He's easy to like as I mentioned previously, especially if you're only looking at film. A lot of teams will fall for him. Although it ultimately should come down to how you feel about his character and gut feeling.
I learned many years ago how critical gut feeling is when it comes to selecting your quarterback. It may be the most important, yet most overlooked tool you have at your disposal.
NFL teams wonder why quarterbacks bust out at such a high rate, when the answer is clear. It's because they've made a habit of drafting them too damn early.
An inexplicable amount of quarterbacks get hyped up, labeled and drafted as 1st round picks. When they're simply not, and are forced to play before they're ready.
I've tried to get that point across for years. The demand for QB's overrides their better judgement and gut feeling.
