Josh Rosen

Clearly Rosen is at the top of the list.  The Cardinals went out to find their franchise quarterback and they may have found it with the 10th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Many people believe the Cardinals got the overall most NFL-ready quarterback in the draft.  However there are those that passed on him ahead of the Cardinals that believe his off the field baggage was too much to carry.

The Cardinals did their homework here, although there are rumors Rosen was not their first choice.  Whether he was or not, he’s here now and it doesn’t matter.  Rosen is the guy.

Rosen gets a chance to learn behind a solid quarterback in Sam Bradford.  While many were not excited about the Bradford addition, he should be a great mentor for Rosen.

Hopefully Rosen won’t be pushed into service too early in the season.  Given Bradford’s history with his health, that’s easier said than done.

Rosen has already received praise from guys like Larry Fitzgerald and Patrick Peterson.  Yes, he still has quite a ways to go but so far first impressions are positive.
