NFL Draft 2019: 5 Bold Predictions for the first round
5. Josh Rosen isn’t traded … yet
The Kyler Murray is the odds-on favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. If he is selected first, the Arizona Cardinals will have some decisions to make, chief among them: what do they do with Josh Rosen?
Last year’s first round selection by Arizona, Rosen will most certainly be shipped out the door to another team in need of a quarterback. The Los Angeles Chargers and New England Patriots have been mentioned as potential suitors, as have the Washington Redskins. If the Redskins are able to land a passer in Round 1, though, they might not have the need to trade for Rosen.
That sets up an interesting dilemma. Neither the Chargers or the Patriots have an immediate need for a new quarterback, meaning a draft night trade isn’t a must. It could still happen, but there is plenty of time for all the teams involved to sleep on things before making a significant decision.
Before the draft is through, Josh Rosen will have a new team. It just might not happen during the first round.
