Josh Rosen has gotten knocks recently because of perceived attitude problems. His college head coach Jim Mora Jr. didn’t do much to quell these concerns when he recently called Rosen a millennial, and he also said the Darnold should go to Cleveland. These could be red flags, but they also appear to be overblown concerns.

The fact of the matter is that Rosen is the most talented quarterback in this draft class. Rosen has excellent arm talent, clutch ability, and he should be able to make any throw on the field in the NFL. The team that takes him will get a true starting caliber quarterback. It’s that simple.

The crazy thing is that Rosen could end up being the fourth quarterback off the board, as less talented passers rise because Rosen may not be a perfect fit with the NFL culture. Still, it would be foolish for a quarterback needy team to let Rosen slide, and I have a hard time imagining him go any later than the No. 5 pick to the Broncos. He’s just too talented not to go that high.

Rosen is the cream of the crop at quarterback, but the top five quarterbacks in this class could all be starters sooner rather than later. This is definitely a good quarterback class, and it should be treated as such.
