It's hard to find a mock draft that has Rosen going #1 to the Browns. His statement regarding getting picked by the "right" team never singled out Cleveland.
"I'd rather be a lower pick at the right team than a higher one at the wrong team,'' Rosen said Saturday at the Cactus Bowl media day as the Bruins prepared to play Tuesday in the Cactus Bowl tonight against Kansas State, per Josh Weinfuss of espn.com.
The answer came in response to a question about whether he feels strongly about playing for certain teams, but not specifically about the Browns. |
I wouldn't be surprised if he clarifies his statement as we get closer to the draft. Would that change your opinion as to where he gets drafted?
Cleveland.com has an article a couple of weeks ago stating that he should be the pick for the Browns.

They just hired Scot McCloughan as a Draft consultant who recently was asked what QB he would take on live radio and he quickly and emphatically stated Mayfield.
Those two things seem to signal Rosen wont go 1
Rosen is the best QB in this draft so the rumors will swirl about him and the other "elite" in about another month...
Won't know whether they sign a veteran until after free agency.
Unless he bombs interviews or tests reveal an issue with his shoulder I don't think Rosen falls past 4. If he is available with the 3rd or 4th pick several teams will be trying to trade up to get him before the Broncos pick. It was reported that the Jets will be aggressive on draft day to get their QB. I could see them trading with the Colts for the #3 pick to get Rosen if Rosen is available. The Colts have so many holes and they will almost certainly try to trade down to accumulate more picks.
Really? Could that just be misdirection? I remember reading last year that Hue Jackson and co had given up on Kizer as the future starting QB.

Unless, of course, they are deliberately blowing smoke to keep everyone guessing
Sounds like a team pumping up his value so they can trade him once they draft Darnold.
best shot.

likes Kizer a lot

Kizer was always supposed to be a project. He won the coaching staff over to get the chance to start, didnt mean he was fully ready or his development excelerated. They threw him to the wolves with no weapons.
New GM didnt pick Kizer though. He wont be the reason they pass on Rosen/Darnold.
Why do I think Rosen won't be the top QB on the Browns board? The difference between Rosen's skill set and that of Darnold's and Mayfield's is mitigated by the WCO that Cleveland plays, enough so that it makes sense to draft the prospect who wants to be there (and is also probably a better fit with the fanbase in terms of outspokenness and jersey sales).
Rosen may not be dead set against going to the Browns, but I think he has his heart set on going to the Giants. Here's the full context of what he said on the subject...
"I think the teams know more than I do in the sense of where I'd best fit," he said. "I might be a bit of a unique personality, so hopefully they can pick me a part and if a team really feels that I'm their guy, hopefully they'll go and get me.
“When it comes to the draft process, I’m going to be — I’m not going to say anything stupid — but I’m going to be my authentic, true self and hopefully someone in an organization says ‘That’s my guy.’ I’ve gotten along with Coach Fisch really well. Coach Mora really got to know my personality to find a really good coordinator that I’d mesh with, and hopefully in the NFL I find that right team that really thinks like they found a good match for me.”
Yeah, 2 SB wins - who would want that?
You are the single worst poster on BBI. I can't wait for your first post next season when you root for an Eli head injury again. How you haven't been banned is beyond me. You suck.
Maybe so, but they tried to trade for AJ McCarron, and Hue Jackson made a fool out of himself by posing for pictures with McCarron after the Bengals game. I think Jackson believes McCarron is the QB he can win with. Hopefully for the Browns sake, the new GM will have more sense.
Haha. Of course they do.
then why did they yank him in and out of games throughout the season? And why did the coaching staff trade for McCarron mid-season, getting so upset when the front office (IMO purposely sabotaged deal) didnt put the trade through, that several lost their jobs as a result?
Doesnt sound like a staff that "loves" Kizer. At a minimum they want to hedge their bet there and bring in some competition.
