As odd as it may seem, the most compelling story on the table as we settle in for Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft doesn’t belong to a player actually participating in the draft. Instead, it’s Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen, a first round pick last season out of UCLA. After the Cardinals selected Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick Thursday night, Rosen excised the team from his social media.

Who’s in play for Rosen?
There’s little doubt that Rosen is on the trading block and there should be plenty of teams interested. The former collegiate standout got a first round grade for a reason last year and though he had an up and down rookie season in Arizona, he should have done nothing to diminish his potential as a franchise quarterback. Quarterback-needy teams will be wheeling and dealing today and a second round pick is more than fair compensation to get Rosen, and his first-round rookie contract with fifth-year option, on your team. Who’s that going to be? The smart money is on the Miami Dolphins, who are currently all but quarterback-less.
Multiple sources say the Dolphins are close to a deal for QB Josh Rosen, and that a deal may actually be tentatively done. Arizona would get pick No. 48 from Miami.

Haskins vows revenge on entire league
Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins saw his draft stock fall from the No. 1 rated quarterback prospect to the third quarterback taken in the NFL Draft. The Washington Redskins eventually picked Haskins at No. 15 Thursday night. He feels as if the rest of the teams in need of a quarterback have made a grave mistake.
Dwayne Haskins on being drafted 15th by the Redskins (and passed on by several QB needy teams) to @JenLada: "To be honest, Im more motivated than ever before. I've got a chip on my shoulder… the league done messed up."
