Josh Rosen most likely to fall out of top 10 due to injuries


Recommended Posts

According to NFL.com's Daniel Jeremiah, personnel executives he has spoken with believe Rosen could potentially fall out of the top 10 due to injury concerns.

Jeremiah also said he has heard three quarterbacks will likely come off the board in the first five picks with USC's Sam Darnold, Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield and Wyoming's Josh Allen standing out as the top possibilities.

Jeremiah pointed out that a shoulder injury cost Rosen several games in 2016 and that he suffered two concussions last season.

Not surprising.  It is a concern bc he is a pocket passer.  He's not going to avoid danger like a Jackson, Darnold, Mayfield or Allen.  If the Bills picked him they better draft offensive lineman with other picks because it will be essential for Rosen Moreso than any other QB.

"Could potentially" and "Most Likely" are not synonymous.

Didn’t see this one somehow. 2 concussions in a season isn’t good at any position. Not sure why this hasn’t got much play. I see early retirement in his future. 

 

Baker Mayfield had 2 concussions in a 6 week span in 2016.

I call BS, wasn't Sam bradford taken 1/1 with a season ending injury? If he is being touted as a better prospect I see this as a GM trying to get a huge bargain.

Rosen is more mobile than he is given credit for. He's not a mobile QB by any means, but he is not a statue either. 

He is also very good at moving inside the pocket and will only get better. 

I believe the NFL also has more rules in place to protect QBs than college does. 

 

 

Remember, Mayfield also had 2 concussions in college and they were a direct result of the way he plays.

 

Like you said, build a good o line around Rosen and you limit that risk (which, as you also said, will have to be a priority). 

 

Where as with Mayfield's style of play, as with many mobile QBs who like to play outside the pocket, it will be hard to just build a good o line around them to limit injury risk.

We seen young 2 mobile QBs (who are just at the start of their careers) go down with injury just this season alone - Wentz and Watson. 

 

 

I am not saying that Rosen's injuries are not a concern. They are. Just not enough to scare me off. I see just as much, or more, injury risk in QBs like Mayfield, Jackson etc due to their play styles.

We shall see.  Cant wait till Thursday so all this comes to an end.  This place is almost unbearable 

Why come then? Thats like getting under a heavy hottie and then being mad at her about it. If you don’t like what we/she is working with then steer clear and save yourself.

I’m not down on him either, I just don’t think we need to give up the farm for him. Waaay too many needs. 

 

Please. Not the way too many needs argument.   What does it matter if you do not have the most important position in professional sports settled?  Get the franchise QB!

I've said all along Rosen's injury history and somewhat frail nature will be his greatest hurdle. We would literally have to spend the rest of the draft on olineman. And trust me when I say he has the least mobility of this entire class....

Only lost 2 starters on the O line this off season. Back in the Jim Kelly days, we had one of the best O lines in the league. Bad O line + Rookie QB = top 5 pick again next year.

   Well, if this is true and the worst is a small jump to 10 to get him then two picks had better be OL related and probably better pick up a RB as insurance in case McCoy goes down.
