No, I would wait and see if Jones is there in around 2, if we wanted to go that route .... not a huge Rosen fan from what we saw last year .... despite the state of that offense.
If the Cardinals were smart, they would keep Rosen and draft another QB if they loved him. It's what the Cowboys did with Troy Aikman and Steve Walsh. The Chargers with Brees and Rivers. You must have a quality QB, as we are all painfully aware. Let them battle it out.Reports are that Cardinals May trade Rosen and draft Kyler Murray first overall.
Many people wanted us to potentially move up just last year to draft Rosen, so picking him at 13 with a full year of NFL experience under his belt should actually be viewed positively, but I suspect most wouldn’t view it that way.
But depending on how Grier graded Rosen last year, it might be an interesting tactic. Get one of last year’s top QB prospects at a lower draft position than last year and test him out for the year, and if he sucks real bad be in position to draft a new franchise QB, and if he pans out, don’t need to worry about a QB next year.
Thoughts?
I don’t know you or your son but now I want Rosen too. Seriously.I would for one reason only. My son believes in Josh Rosen and he is probably the best sports mind I know. He just flat out knows sports, it’s how I raised him but he knows his stuff period end of discussion, he is never wrong. He wanted Russell Wilson, Mahomes before the drafts said he would pass on Barkley and many other flops. He could tell you why because of the style of offense their coach prepared them with in NCAA, athleticism, football iQ on and on and he is just never wrong. He also attends UCLA and actually sat next to Rosen in History class Rosen’s last year there. He does not know him personally and did not talk to him as Rosen only attended one class but my son will be a contributor or executive at ESPN or the NFL/NBA TV one day put your money on it and he says Rosen is the real deal if he can stay healthy. His word is good enough for me.
He is still a very good prospect and an upgrade for us, no doubt about it. I'd certainly take him over Foles at this point. That pick at thirteen is very rich, so you would have to have a big conviction but if they sweetened the deal with something else, even like a third next year, I'd do it.
So you approve of Rosen Slimm?I'd try to swing a trade involving Charles Harris, Tannehill, Diva Parker, and a slough of others along with some mid/late round picks first. Arizona needs bodies with numbers on their jersey. Miami has an abundance of those.
