Draft Possibilities for the Denver Broncos with Fifth Pick
Josh Rosen- Quarterback- UCLA
It looks like Sam Darnold may be the first quarterback off the board. If Rosen is still there when the Broncos are on the clock, Rosen may be their guy. Rosen takes chances down the field that a lot of quarterbacks wouldn’t. That shows confidence in himself, but can also get him into some trouble.
Rosen played three seasons at UCLA. His best season came in 2017, when he threw for 3,756 yards, 26 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions.
Don’t expect Rosen to take off and scramble. He has a grand total of (-154) career rushing yards. At the NFL combine, he ran the 40-yard dash at 4.92 seconds.
His career touchdown-to-interception ratio is 59-26 in three seasons with the Bruins.
The New York Jets traded up into the top 3 in the NFL draft and it is possible that they select Rosen. If that is the case, another option at quarterback could be Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield.
