Josh Rosen

Forget the fact Rosen played for a underachieving UCLA team.  He is still going to be one of the top picks, if not the top pick, in the NFL draft.

Again, the Cardinals would need to move Heaven and Earth to get him.  Rosen won’t get you to the promised land early but he will be a guy that will have staying power in the NFL and should give a team a chance at the promised land at some point.

Odds are again the Cardinals won’t be able to put together a package to get one of the most coveted quarterbacks in this draft.  You never know what will happen though.

If the Cardinals were to land Rosen, it could be a game changer.  He threw for 9,301-yards with 59 touchdowns and 26 interceptions in his time with the Bruins.  He also has that extra year of college action that Darnold didn’t get.
